Protecting Local Radio: Congress Urged Against New Music Performance Fees.
This resolution urges Congress not to impose any new fees or royalties on local radio stations for playing music over the air. The goal is to protect the financial stability of thousands of small broadcasters and businesses, such as restaurants and retail stores, that rely on the current system. Maintaining the status quo ensures citizens retain access to free local news, weather, and essential emergency information provided by local radio.
Key points
No new music fees: Congress should not charge local radio stations for broadcasting sound recordings over the air.
Safeguarding local services: This prevents financial strain that could jeopardize free local news, weather alerts, and emergency programming.
Support for small businesses: Other businesses (like bars and restaurants) that play local radio broadcasts will also be protected from these potential new fees.
