"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."
