"Everybody wants more royalty money"

"The Radio Music License Committee (RMLC) has just begun a new round
of negotiations and we are told that ASCAP is now wanting broadcasters
to have a second music license to cover HD2 (HD3, etc.) signals.
ASCAP’s negotiators say they should receive fee payments for those new
stations because the only reason most aren’t producing revenues is
that broadcasters have chosen to run them commercial-free in an effort
to build audiences for the future. When RMLC representatives responded
that the stations are mostly running commercial free because there are
hardly any HD receivers in public hands, ASCAP hauled out a Parks
Associates study mentioned in an RBR/TVBR Intelligence Brief
predicting that there would be 30 million HD receivers in the
marketplace by 2012."
