Radio Broadcasters Close to Shutting Down Performance Tax

Radio broadcasters may be close to once again stopping the movement to impose performance fees on music airplay. As of Wednesday (June 3), a majority of the House (220 members) and 12 Senators have signed The Local Radio Freedom Act, a resolution that denounces any new performance fee, tax, royalty or other charge on music airplay.  

Last month, the House Judiciary Committee voted 21-9 to send the Performance Rights Act to the House for a full vote.
