I want to broadcast 1960s oldies on my station in the U.S. only. Let's suppose i just want to be non-interactive. Is all i need a SoundExchange statutory license or do i need bmi and ascap as well to cover royalties? Also do I have to maintain records of how many people listen to my tracks and how often i play them? In other words, is there a difference in what I would pay if I have 100,000 listeners as opposed to only 100?
If you're broadcasting online shows that aren't interactive, then SoundExchange should cover. Not sure which license you'll need and how much it'll cost, so best contact them directly. In terms of reporting, we offer stats you can provide to your licensing body.
That's an interesting point. Honestly, I'm not sure. Licensing bodies like SACEM typically cover music, not other content like books, videos, or any other medium. If you can't find the answer online, worth contacting SACEM directly to ask. But if you need help with anything radio related, then contact us at studio@radio.co.
I'm in the US...so if I wanted to start an internet radio station all I would need to use is Sound Exchange?...what about the gray areas though like podcasting,youtube stream,maybe gaming with music playing on twitch etc?
SoundExchange will cover your for live digital performances, aka online radio. But I'm not 100% sure if covered for on-demand solutions like podcasting, UA-cam, and so on. Best to contact SoundExchange for better clarification.
No thoughts spring to mind as Live365 just cover licensing in the US, Canada, and UK. But services are more expensive starting at $59/m. And worth noting, the company went bust in 2016 because of licensing: radio.co/blog/live365-alternative-worried-about-live365-closing Then came back when bought out a few months later: radio.co/blog/live365-returning-everything-know As a broadcaster, you'd expect reliability. Something we pride ourselves on, so here's our story: radio.co/why-choose-us
I am an internet radio owner, and I’m also a Dj! I play lots of copyright music, and have pre recorded and live mixes on my station! I want to know the next licensing to have! I’m based in the USA
Yeah, for commercial video like films, tv shows, or any other copyrighted content. But if not then you don't need one. As far as music licensing goes, worth checking out: radio.co/blog/radio-broadcasting-licence
We are a radio station and have our ppl (loml) and prs license, what we want to know is what license we need to stream our live radio shows on 3rd party platforms like Facebook and UA-cam????
Both platforms stop you from playing commercial songs, and have automated systems in place to detect and remove live streams. So there's no simple licensing solution at the moment, unless your licensing body covers platforms like Facebook and UA-cam, in which case you can rebuke any takedowns.
ok,,, so,,, have a twitch account. When streaming on Twitch, recording through OBS and uploading to UA-cam, I use UA-cam playlist for background music. Sound Exchange will protect me from copyright claims by allowing me the license to broadcast my playlist collection of various artist over stream?
We don't really have too much experience with Twitch so can't say for sure. UA-cam and Facebook shut streams down for copyright music, whether you have a license or not, but Twitch may work differently. You might have to ask Twitch's support staff for an answer on this one.
@@Radiodotco ok. Well darn. So if I get a license for each track I use for like say, UA-cam live, UA-cam will still shut it down because they can do that even if I have the licensing to use... Well, that basically explains why no one puts music in the background. The non interactive digital audio transmission works great for xm radio and such. But I guess it's time for online dj or broadcasts for digital video audio transmission licenses... Whomever can start that will be a whopping millionaire 🧐🤪
@@Radiodotco I'm checking around licensing now, still cannot find what license I need, because when this video made maybe was okay for youtube, but now the PRS PPL website saying this: "Hosting content on your website? You need one of our online music licences. Here’s what they cover: on-demand streaming permanent downloads audiovisual content that contains music podcasts ringtones These licences do not cover content on third party websites and social media platforms such as UA-cam or Facebook."
@@zolitimo5482 Hi Zoli, unfortunately, since this video was created, Facebook and UA-cam have become much more strict in enforcing copyright protection on streams, whether or not the content is breaking copyright. For more info, check out our article here radio.co/blog/facebook-blocking-live-stream

That's not an easy task. As licensing is different from country to country, there's no 'one size fits all`. But we are in talks with a couple of licensing bodies. As soon as we have something to show, we'll let you know.

Is licensing based on country it’s broadcast from (eg Uk so need PRS & PPL licence) or where it’s broadcast too (eg where your listeners are)?
It would be where you're broadcasting from. So if you're in the UK you would need to speak to PRS & PPL.
@@Radiodotco Many thanks. That's great news and brings the launch date of my new station a bit closer!
