FCMR Posted July 27, 2004 Posted July 27, 2004 Local radio stations have to pay £4 for every minute of air time given to a record and National stations have to pay £10 per minute air time, this seems a lot of cash, these were the sums stated in a documentary about Queen shown last night. Also does the band get this money.
Observer Posted July 27, 2004 Posted July 27, 2004 Really? That much?? My basic grasp of economics tells me that it would make it very expensive and that you would have to make a lot of advertising revenue. I must be missing an important part of the equation me thinks...... So for a local station to play music, say for 30 mins an hour, 24 hours a day (12 hours total) that would be £20,160 a week... then overheads and running costs on top of that? Think I'll skip the radio station project then.

FCMR Posted July 27, 2004 Author Posted July 27, 2004 Yes thats what I thought, these sums were given out on the Queen Documentary last night called Freddies Millions, which was made 2 years ago, they said tha Mercury records pulled in about £8.2millions a year from the UK alone. Maybe thats why Manx Radio are always pleading poverty,
Slim Posted July 27, 2004 Posted July 27, 2004 It also explains why they spend so much time talking and playing old stuff.
ans Posted July 27, 2004 Posted July 27, 2004 Who actually monitors what they pay? Do they have to submit a 'song sheet' for the day or something? Does their regulator do random spot checks to ensure that they're paying the right amount? Just wondering how enforced it is.
FCMR Posted July 27, 2004 Author Posted July 27, 2004 I wonder if the IOM gets any money from the BeeGees version of Ellan Vannin
The Old Git Posted July 27, 2004 Posted July 27, 2004 Who actually monitors what they pay? Do they have to submit a 'song sheet' for the day or something? As far as I know from a quick tour of Manx Radio a few years ago they some sort of playlist generator that picks the music to play based on what show it is with some sort of randomness built in and then that play list is sent off to the Performing Rights people of whoever. Stu Low used to xxxx them off by substituting some tracks for his own choice which meant that the list then had to be manually altered. No doubt Stu Peters could tell us if that's still the case nowdays regarding the automatically generated list
Stavros Posted July 27, 2004 Posted July 27, 2004 Rick Wakeman is on the board of PAMRA (Performing Artists' Media Rights Association) The right to receive 'royalties' for recorded performances came into law on 1 December 1996. The law works like this: if you are a qualifying performer and have made a commercial recording since 1946 then you may be due some money if your recording was broadcast or played in public since 1 December 1996 in the UK or overseas. PAMRA was set up in 1995 ahead of this right specifically to administer the resulting remuneration to performers. More info can be found here: http://www.pamra.org.uk/ Stav.
