ALERT: Congress wants to mandate that all cars must have A.M. radio installed — but musicians are being left out of royalties.
ACTION: Tell Senator Chuck Schumer: no A.M. radio requirement without fair compensation for musicians!
PLEASE CALL SENATOR SCHUMER’S MANHATTAN OFFICE AT (212) 486-4430 AND SAY THE FOLLOWING:
“I want to thank Leader Schumer for his previous support for the American Music Fairness Act – the bill would make sure artists are paid when their work is played on the radio. I am concerned that Congress is considering the A.M. Radio for Every Vehicle Act without also requiring compensation for musicians like me. More than 240 million songs are played annually on A.M. radio each year. By mandating A.M. radios in new vehicles, Congress is putting its seal of approval on a broken system that leaves musicians behind.”
