Do radio stations who broadcast music pay for the music they play? Yes, according to Corey Deitz, author of “The Cash Cage”, a book about the inside world of radio: “Traditional radio stations pay royalty fees for this right. These fees are paid to either ASCAP (The American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers), BMI (Broadcast Musicians Incorporated) or SESAC (Society of European Stage Authors and Composers).” See remainder of his article at: http://radio.about.com/od/miscellaneous/a/aa122904a.htm.
