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

[Alex Gray, Two Lochs Radio]

Dear Mr Numpty

 

The rough answers to your questions are:

 

1)      Number of songs played per-hour      average

 

The only proposed change in reporting is that there will no longer be a need
to submit an estimate of future revenue at the start of a year, only the
actual revenue at the end of the year.

 

2)      Standard budget reasonable cost payment
bearing – in – mind that

 

Whichever is the greater of:

Minimum combined fee of £1798/year, or

Combined royalties of 5% on 80% of any broadcast advertising or sponsorship
income

 

3)      We are not for profit and our NET revenue is zero / zilch / diddly
squat

 

That status is of no interest to PPL or PRS – they levy the royalties on 80%
of your broadcast (and/or simulcast) advertising and sponsorship income,
regardless of whether or not it leads to profit or you spend it all on
coffee and doughnuts for the presenters. If you have no such income, then
you would pay only the minimum fees. 

 

4)      No reporting, as there is nothing to report apart from song usage

 

See 1) above

 

Hope that fits within the attention span of a goldfish - good luck with the
plates!

 

Alex

 

----------------------------

 

Anything outside of this, my attention span has suddenly developed into that
of a Goldfish.

 

I fill the form in later as I need to get back to the 50 Plates 
.. well
42 actually, as 8 have just dropped off
