[grc] Reporting requirements for streaming stations

[Donna Dibianco]

Hi Leo,      Usually ASCAP, BMI, SESAC, and Sound Exchange take a "snapshot" of your broadcast year. They will send a notice asking your to report for a week's worth of broadcast. It's not as ominous as most think, especially if you are using an automation system that logs the details like Artist Name, Song title, Album and Record label.

 We at KTWH-LP would like to know if other LPFM's and very small 
noncommercial webcasting radio stations have avoided the requirement to 
report music used to Sound Exchange by paying the $100 waiver of 
reporting, only to have BMI's digital licensing arm insist on reports of 
music use for every minute of the broadcast year? If there is a method 
to avoid this onerous reporting requirement (they are demanding it, and 
are insisting we sign an 11 page agreement that doesn't look quite right 
for a streaming LPFM), we at Two Harbors Community Radio (THCR) would 
love to hear how it's done.
Thanks,
