Time is Running Out...Stand with Our Music Creators

Dear Music Fans,

The summer sun is in full force and so are broadcasters' efforts to recruit supporters to their incredibly misleading resolution: The Local Radio Freedom Act (LRFA).

Though the name might suggest otherwise, LRFA does nothing to protect or support local radio. In reality, it preserves a decades-old subsidy for the multi-billion-dollar radio industry that refuses to pay music creators fairly for their hard work.

Other more innovative and popular platforms like satellite radio and digital streaming services pay artists for the use of their sound recordings. AM/FM radio doesn't.

LRFA is all about protecting broadcasters' bottom lines and we need to make sure Congress knows what's really going on here.

Click here to send a letter to your member of Congress telling him or her to stand with music creators, not the multibillion-dollar radio industry, and keep their name off of LRFA.

If your member has already signed on – we’ve got you covered. You can send a customized letter to say you're disappointed in them for falling for the NAB's rhetoric and taking the side of the multibillion-dollar industry over hard-working artists.

Music creators deserve to be paid fairly for their hard work. Every other major platform pays artists, it's time for radio to do the same.

Thanks,
The musicFIRST Coalition
