Please act now folks, My monday nights just wouldn't be the same without you tuning in.
This from the station manager at KWMR:
Online music is in danger. The Copyright Royalty Board just announced a
decision that could drastically impact the variety and diversity of
music available on the Internet. All "webcasters," nonprofit and
for-profit, small and large, face a massive hike in the royalties they
pay every time they play a song. The exorbitant fees could put small,
independent webcasters out of business and force the large webcasters
to adopt the cookie-cutter model of traditional radio. The fees would
be unsustainable for public radio webcasters who would be forced to
significantly reduce the alternative and cultural programming they
offer.
Organizations such as Free Press and the National Federation of
Community Broadcasters work to expand public awareness and involvement
in media policymaking. They have been instrumental in communicating
public concerns to the FCC and Congress. Please check out the Free
Press link below and consider signing a petition to ensure reasonable
fees instead of disastrous hikes that could affect KWMR’s ability to
webstream our music programs.
