[cma-l] PPL / PRS for Music mini consultation

[Tony Bailey]

Interesting point "airplay to its unsigned members" presumably non PPL 
in any case, however, something comes to mind here, what about the old 
BBC "needle time" agreement?  I think it allowed free airplay to new 
releases. Maybe a similar arrangement could be negotiated to offset some 
of the charges in exchange for new entrant airtime?
