Local Radio and TV broadcasters pay hundreds of millions of dollars annually to the PROs – ASCAP, BMI, SESAC and GMR. Bill Velez, Executive Director of the RMLC, and Janet McHugh, Executive Director of the TVMLC, will discuss music license fees now and in the future i.e. why you pay what you pay and whether you can expect fee adjustments in the future. They will also give you news from Capitol Hill such as the US Department of Justice’s ongoing review of the ASCAP and BMI Consent Decrees. Join us for an interesting and lively discussion.
