"NAB backs royalty study"


"Radio is under pressure to negotiate with record labels now. It
remains to be seen whether this move puts the performance royalty on
the backburner for months. But the NAB is backing a proposed
congressional economic-impact study on the proposal. Music First
spokesman Marty Machowski says the debate is no longer about whether a
royalty should be adopted, but if lawmakers should wait for a study’s
outcome before moving forward."

We'll see a flip on FM to AMs' successful news/talk/sports formats.
The royalties ARE going to happen - LOL, Eduardo!


All they have to do is quit playing the crap the major labels put out,
and get a bunch of locals and independents to fill the void. Now we're
getting somewhere.


"Bonneville pulls iChannel Music"

That was tried and failed on HD Radio - LOL!


- It did not fail... someone came and offered money
- to use the HD2, vs no money for the indie channel.

Oops PocketRadio - Bonneville just turn a Dozen
or so non-profitable HD-2 Channels into Profitable
HD-2 Channels --- Sure Sounds Like Good News
for FM HD-Radio and the real 'potential' for extra
Income Streams from HD-2 Channels.
