From our friends at Broadcast Law Blog: The NAB and SoundExchange filed with the Copyright Royalty Board a proposed settlement of the pending litigation over the 2026-2030 royalty rates to be paid to performers and copyright holders (usually the record companies) for the public performance of sound recordings. Broadcasters pay these royalties to SoundExchange for streaming music online, including through mobile apps and to smart speakers. The current rate is $0.0025 per Performance (a performance is every time one listener hears a song – so, for example, if a station has 10 listeners during an hour and they each hear 10 songs, that is 100 Performances). The settlement’s proposed rates for 2026 to 2030 are as follows: 2026 – $0.0028 per Performance; 2027 – $0.0029 per Performance; 2028 – $0.0030 per Performance; 2029 – $0.0031 per Performance; and 2030 – $0.0032 per Performance. For more on this settlement, see our Broadcast Law Blog article here.
