Internet Radio Broadcast Rates

Anyone interested in creating a radio show that plays copyrighted music should factor in licensing costs.

The Rates for Commercial Webcasters

The rates set by the CRB for commercial webcasters, including broadcasters retransmitting their over-the-air signals on the Internet , are as follows:

2006: $.0008 per performance
2007: $.0011 per performance
2008: $.0014 per performance
2009: $.0018 per performance
2010: $.0019 per performance

A performance is defined as a single song, heard by a single listener. Thus, if a webcaster streams 10 songs in an hour to a single listener, there have been 10 performances during that period. If there were two listeners to those 10 songs, there would have been 20 performances.

To put these numbers in perspective, a streaming service that operates 24 hours a day and averages 10 songs per hour would pay a royalty of about $8 per month if it averages one listener during every hour of operation, based on the rates for 2007. If the service is playing 15 songs per hour, the monthly royalty would be in the range of $12 per average listener. By 2010, the monthly payments would rise to approximately $13.75 per average listener for the service streaming 10 songs an hour, and to $20.50 per average listener for a service which averages 15 songs per hour.

The cost for non-profit organizations is slightly less, but this is a consideration worthy of your time. There is a lot of great music out that does not force you into audits and payments like these. If you just need filler music for your radio programs, you might consider buying into libraries that have a one time fee.

LinkedIn Recommendation: Demetrius Reardon - Search Engine Optimization Manager at Blue Galaxy Marketing - I just attended Teo's LinkedIn workshop and am getting more information on how to use it. Great stuff. He told us everything there was to know about LinkedIn in one sentence. Then went into details, then added some optional ways to use it, just so much information so quickly... I had a little trouble keeping up, but he kept coming back to that one sentence to show how it all fits. It really is easy! Love Teo's style! He's got a lot of energy and would love to meet him in person someday! - March 17, 2012, Demetrius was Teo's client
