[cma-l] FW: PPL and PRS for Music Community Radio Licences - Customer Consultation

Thu Sep 15 16:41:03 BST 2016

Look out for this in your e-mail, or go straight to the consultation online
even if the email gets spam-trapped or whatever

However, don’t too get excited – both bodies still plan to set their own
fees independently, and both plan to continue charging much the same large
minimum fees as at present - £942 in PRS’s case, and £856 for PPL for a
station with up to 200 online simulcast streams.

I see one ‘new right’ being offered is that PPL will now allow stations to
play their own live output in their premises without an extra licence! The
other one of note is that if I am reading it correctly, a separate MCPS
licence will no longer be needed for holding music or programmes on a
computer or fileserver – PPL and PRS are now including that right in the
proposed licence. 

Fees for stations with between 50 and 100 Internet streams will drop a bit
due to rebanding, and stations with small scale DAB simulcasts will save a
bit more due to a lower cost option on the combined licence.

Dear Customer, 

As your organisation holds an Ofcom Community Radio Licence and is either: 

1. Broadcasting on AM or FM; or 

2. Preparing to launch on AM or FM in future; 

we are contacting you to let you know that we are running a consultation on
proposed changes to the way in which both PPL and PRS for Music license
community radio stations.

>From 1 January 2017, it is proposed that PPL and PRS for Music will offer a
joint licence in place of each society's individual licences. 

Have your say 

As part of the consultation we are inviting you to comment on the proposed
changes and share your views with us.
