On Wednesday, the House Judiciary Committee will play host to a “Zoom video webinar” devoted to the “American Music Fairness Act,” proposed legislation that would impose additional royalties on music played by AM and FM radio stations across the U.S.
While the “AMFA” support is growing and is dwarfed by that of the “Local Radio Freedom Act,” and no companion legislation for “AMFA” has yet to emerge in the Senate, one advocating pushing for the bill’s passage is calling for the board of directors of two of the nation’s biggest radio broadcasting companies to discuss “how music creators should be paid when their songs are played on AM/FM radio.”
