WASHINGTON, DC – With lawmakers returning to their Congressional districts this month, NAB has sent a mock invoice to some 13,000 local radio stations, demonstrating the devastating impact of a performance tax.
The call-to-action mailer, which mockingly bills the recipient radio station for "the privilege of promoting the record labels music free of charge and lining recording industry executives' pockets," encourages local radio station operators to urge their member of Congress to oppose a performance task on local radio stations.
"Invite your member of Congress to visit your station, and show first hand how the performance tax will hurt your efforts to serve your local community," the mailer reads.
