John Conyers (D-MI) is expected to propose capping a performance royalty on small radio stations at $500 a year -- a tenth of what was earlier floated.

Bye, bye HD Radio! Well, the $500 per station is for stations billing under $1.25 million. That applies to about 12,000 of the roughly 14,000 US stations, not including LPFMs, boosters, etc. If the rate is proportional, certainly a point that could be argued for, then the highest billing station in the US would pay about $22 k a year. And, since most HDs don't bill $1.25 million, they would pay the $500 fee. |

FM 'MUSIC' RADIO IS ALIVE AND WELL with the 0.04% Solution Thanks to the U$ Congre$$ $500 / 365 Days = $1.40 per Day which is about the price of a Medium Drink at a Fast Food place. $500 X 12,000 = $6,000,000 RIAA -omg- Where they going to spend all that Taxable Money . . . $500 / $1,250,000 = 0.04% that's a 'hicup' pr - that's 'pocket change' and nothing more ~ RHF |
