Radio roayalty rates for music

[abemccallum]

What is the name of your state? CA

Hey all, I was curious to find out what the mechanical royalty rate is for songs that are played on broadcast radio not Internet radio. I have been scouring the web and cannot find and royalty rates for music that is broadcasted over the radio.

Thanks

Abe

The rate is negotiated between either ASCAP or BMI and the licensee. There is no set price list.

In addition, you might want to check out the RIAA site. It's a pretty complex formula that is used.
That is why you don't see many radio stations broadcasting over the internet anymore (music stations).
