STREAMING PAGE
We’re sorry
to have to say this, but we’ve had to stop streaming the
signal of Q107-WMQT over wmqt.com.
Why? On March 2, 2007, the U.S. Copyright Royalty Board
approved a proposal by SoundExchange, working on behalf of
the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), which
would implement a dramatic increase in royalty rates for
streaming audio providers, like wmqt.com.
(The Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) is the
trade group that represents the U.S. music & recording
companies.)
The new rates are applicable to all services that stream
sound recordings on the Internet, including radio stations
like Q107-WMQT, that simulcast their broadcast programming.
The new rates represent increases from 300 to 1200 percent!
Because of that, we have discontinued our internet streaming
service. We thank you for checking us out on the 'net and
we’ll see you at 107.7 FM. . .Q107-WMQT!
