SMALL WEBCASTERS, ARTISTS, & INDIE LABELS
​STAND TOGETHER
Picture
Radio as we know it has changed!
The expiration of the Webcaster Settlement Act has left many small webcasters facing a steep increase in royalty rates and unsure of their future survival.
We support fair and transparent payment to artists and rightsholders when their work is used. We also recognize that small broadcasters are vitally important to musical culture, whether it’s small community FM stations or online webcasters who program niche music and artists you might not hear elsewhere. Commercial FM radio is increasingly focused on narrow repetitive playlists due to consolidation in station ownership. By contrast, webcasting reflects far greater diversity—from cutting edge releases by contemporary artists to America’s rich and varied musical traditions. And unlike commercial FM, internet radio pays musicians and labels.
We believe artists and small webcasters are on the same team. Let’s keep it that way!
We’re optimistic that a solution can be found to allow many small commercial webcasters to continue to operate, and ensure that great music continues to get played and artists continue to get paid—directly, transparently and fairly. -www.radiodiversity.org

Add your voice to the fight

To better serve the webcaster community, petitions have been drafted to be sent to Congress to either restore the Webcaster Settlement Act or draft a new, comparable royalty rate deal. Stand with us and add your voice to either or all three petitions. Click the "Learn More" button underneath each bullet to sign a petition. Also, share the petitions with your friends and let them know how vital internet radio is to you! 
Here at SoulProsper Radio, we believe that internet radio is completely viable in the recording industry and to lose it would ultimately hurt the industry and not help artists at all. In fact, we believe that the recording industry would miss it if or when it's gone. Let's come together to prevent that from happening!

Diversity

INTERNET RADIO REPRESENTS A MYRIAD OF MUSICAL ARTISTS AND
INTERESTS. THIS CRB RULING HAS MARGINALIZED THOSE WHO REPRESENT ALREADY MARGINALIZED GENRES AND BROADCASTING INTERESTS. LET’S GET A SOLUTION ASAP!!

Opportunity

Let’s keep things in perspective, many internet stations are the only radio spins some artists receive. While the objective of the CRB ruling is to protect and maximize royalty potential; there’s irrepressible collateral damage being done to little known artists. How can they receive said royalties when their songs aren’t being played? ​

LOngevity

Another fringe benefit of internet radio is the increased shelf life of great songs. Listeners aren’t limited to ‘what’s hot’. On the web, your favorite radio station is (still) free to play what’s actually good for an extended, reasonable time frame.

In its summer 2015 report, Next Big Sound documents the 'rapid rise of social and streaming'. Internet radio plays a viable part in the success of music today. The metrics prove this point as internet radio impressions fall second to Wikipedia page views for new music. This supports the notion that internet radio is the future of radio...and the future is, NOW!
