Episode: Del 'in Transition' : On the phone with ECR Music President Blake Morgan

 at 805am : Record Exec, Music Producer, Musician, and Advocate of Musicians Rights in the Corporate Radio World. Currently Blake has a bill building steaming thru the House and the Senate, regarding the percentage paid to artists and musicians, when their music is played on the radio. Big Conglomerates like I heart Radio and Connosieur Radio, which have multiple stations, want to continue to pay at the flat rate that smaller stations like WPKN pay, not at the collective use rate or the percentage based on per station usage, or revenue based on money the station earns overall. Similar, I think as in the way we look at taxing the rich. Also, tthere is a difference as to how artists get paid when their music is played on radio in other countries. An interesting topic that effects us all in the business.
