Radio Fair Play

The committee considering whether to pass the Fair Pay for Radio Play Bill is due to report this week. PPCA has been supporting this move that would allow us to negotiate a fair rate for artists and licensors when it comes to the use of sound recordings on radio. A recent report we commissioned found that Australian artists could be earning 78% more income if the radio caps were removed, while radio would maintain healthy profit margins. See more below:
