SESAC Performance License Rates See 10.4% Increase for 2023-2026 Licensing Period
SESAC’s performance license rates for the 2023-2026 period will have a blanket fee of 0.2824% of revenue, a 10.4% increase from the prior rate.
The rate represents the amount SESAC, a performing rights organization (PRO), can charge stations in exchange for playing works from their repertory over terrestrial radio. “Despite the fact that no increase was warranted, the arbitration decision reported here constitutes a significant victory for RMLC-represented radio stations given SESAC’s demands, and comes at a challenging economic time for the industry,” RMLC chairman Ed Atsinger said in a statement. “The RMLC intends to continue to defend and protect the interests of its members at a time when all of the performing right organizations are seeking to aggressively increase their fees.”
