<div> </div>
<div>The right granted under the standard PRS licence includes: "The broadcast and simulcast of <em>PRS for Music </em>repertoire on radio services transmitted from the UK"</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Not sure about the £750 figure - I thought it was £727 for Community Radio, but maybe it's had an increase.</div>

<div>PPL have told me that PRS have not waived any fee, and are, in fact, charging £750. I'd be keen to understand whether that's the case, and would appreciate, in confidence, any scans or copies of emails from PRS that give me a little more certainty about what's gone on here.</div>

<div>(should we be thinking about setting up  separate forum for those of us involved in the small-scale DB trials?)</div>
<div> </div>
<div> </div>
<div>Has anyone had any discussion/negotiation regarding PPL and the small-scale DAB pilot?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Shortly after the announcement, PRS contacted us saying that there would be no additional fees for the DAB pilot, assuming that the DAB service was a simulcast of our FM service. Good news.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>PPL, on the other hand, contacted us today saying there would be a £500+VAT license for the 9 month period.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>This is despite</div>
<div> </div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>the DAB service is a pilot</li>
<li>the DAB service is a simulcast of our FM service</li>
<li>the DAB service covers broadly the same area as our FM service</li>
<li>The 500+VAT for 9 months for a pilot/development service is actually MORE than the equivalent fee for a production FM service! (159/quarter)</li>
</ul>
<div> </div>
<div>Does anyone else have difficulty understanding how they justify this?</div>
