Have you heard about this? A bill has been introduced in Congress that would keep your favorite radio station from playing the music you love! It's true! You see, most of the record labels are now owned by foreign companies, and they're demanding that Congress pass new laws requiring radio stations to pay them millions of dollars... or quit playing music!
We think the record labels are looking for a big bailout at radio's expense. Music stations like WKYQ would have to turn to talk, news or sports to try to make a living. You would have to find another way to hear your favorite music without having to pay for it yourself -- that's just not right.
Since the very beginning, American record companies and artists have encouraged radio to play their songs. That relationship has been a big factor in the careers of artists like Garth Brooks, Kenny Chesney, Carrie Underwood, and scores of others who have openly thanked WKYQ and other radio stations for getting their music to you.
Radio Royalties Bill Number 848 has been introduced. Please help us stop this bill by calling your Congressman or Congresswoman and telling them to oppose the radio royalties bill. We've listed all the phone numbers and email addresses of your representatives below.
