NAB Opposes Efforts to Undo FCC on Radio Dupe

Recent filings from music licensing groups such as musicFIRST and SoundExchange attacking FCC relaxation of radio duplication rules (see 2102090063) “appear disingenuous,” NAB said in docket 19-310 Thursday. Those organizations say digital services have become more important than radio when arguing that Congress should enact performance fees, NAB said: “Be highly skeptical” of arguments from the groups that radio deregulation would harm music creators.
