[cma-l] Music Royalties for simulcast DAB

[Ian Hickling]

This is a hot potato that isn't going to go away.
If we agree to paying a Royalty at all - and it's a very big "if" - then shouldn't it be graded on the number of consumers - the listening audience?
And shouldn't that be determined by the Royalty organisation (the seller) and billed as such - rather than being required to be supplied by the broadcaster (the customer)?

Well we could all refuse to pay the simulcast of our cr license than,  at present I'm on fm and repeat the same service on line
They charge for this
My impression is that they will charge for this too, without any doubt in my mind

As I said - because PPL charging schemes are inconsistent! Hopefully in this case they could work in your favour (but of course PPL may find some way to try to charge - personally, if the DAB were a simulcast of an existing FM service I would refuse to pay any additional demand). Hopefully this is any aspect of the whole idea that the pilot will help clarify.

Of course there will be additional charge   we pay extra for streaming our service,  why wouldn't we pay more on DAB

I don't think there would be any additional charge if it's a simulcast of your existing broadcasts - unless they class it as a test transmission I suppose. 
  
One of the many inconsistencies of PPL charging is that you could (Ofcom permitting) increase your transmiission area and audience 10-fold and it would not affect your PPL licence terms, but if people in a shop or office within your existing area want to listen to the radio they have to pay an additional licence,
