<div dir="ltr">> To the best of my knowledge PPL and PRS do indeed increase their fees by inflation each year - but I'll put this to them to check.<br><br>Happy to be corrected on this. But I know we have had practically zero inflation for over a year now (<a href="http://www.rateinflation.com/inflation-rate/uk-inflation-rate">http://www.rateinflation.com/inflation-rate/uk-inflation-rate</a>) and I don't recall having a zero increase, but who knows.<br><br>> Furthermore, the licensing agencies are charged with maximising income to their members - and their members would not stand for reducing their income. A proposal such as this would have to be passed by a resolution from their members.<br><br>PRS and community radio is a ridiculous exercise - I get local artists give me their PRS number because we play their music, but I doubt they get more than 1/100 of a penny of the £700ish a year I give PRS. <br><br>We play a lot of music from emerging artists but I suppose the majority of our PRS goes to Ed Sheeran, Adele, Justin Bieber etc, who we play very little of!<br><br>> Apart from the general principle of why they are collecting from non-profit stations as others have raised, I would like to ask for the justification for extra charges for Internet streaming and, in particular, why they demanded fees for the Low power DAB experiment/pilots.<br><br>Good point and I second this. It's not like anyone would be listening to FM and the internet (and even DAB) at the SAME time, so why charge us extra?<br><br>Cheers<br>Paul<br><br></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On 10 February 2016 at 18:36, Clive Glover <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:clivegloveruk@gmail.com" target="_blank">clivegloveruk@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div style="word-wrap:break-word">Bill<div><br></div><div>Apart from the general principle of why they are collecting from non-profit stations as others have raised, I would like to ask for the justification for extra charges for Internet streaming and, in particular, why they demanded fees for the Low power DAB experiment/pilots.</div><div><br></div><div>We were all ready to apply for the DAB pilot but changed our mind when we realised we would have to fork out more than £2,000 to copyright bodies - money we don't have and for absolutely no benefit to us or our audience and local community.</div><div><br></div><div>Good luck!</div><div><br></div><div>regards,</div><div><br></div><div>Clive Glover</div><div><br></div><div>Radio Verulam 92.6FM</div><div><br></div><div>St Albans</div><div><br><div><div><div class="h5"><div>On 10 Feb 2016, at 17:19, Bill Best wrote:</div><br></div></div><blockquote type="cite"><div><div class="h5"><div dir="ltr">Hi Nick<div><br></div><div>Thanks for your message.</div><div><br></div><div>It was a typo and a correction as issued.</div><div><br></div><div>We are meeting with PPL and PRS this <b>Friday 12th February 2016</b>.</div><div><br></div><div>Link here for your feedback:</div><div><br></div><div><b><a href="http://bit.ly/pplprs" target="_blank">http://bit.ly/pplprs</a></b></div><div><br></div><div>I've got September on my mind as we are also planning the 2016 Community Media Conference - news of this will be imminent.
