about this ?? it is because many years ago at a meeting in Manchester the
topic of PPL/PRS came up in relation to Community Radio ……..we were
led to believe that there was a flat rate fee for Community Radio. This then
conveniently got lost in dispatches and it turned into a ‘minimum fee’
+ a gobbledy gook report and extra tickles £££ on an NBR which as you know is completely
different to a flat rate fee.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
