The music we play is 99% unsigned to a major or reputable independent label. The majority of the music is created by people who are not members of the PRS/MCPS. they are young British producer/writers/DJ's whose music has NO outlet other than on pirates. The mainstream broadcasters will not play it. The only opportunity they have for exposure is through stations like ours, they send us their music and are over the moon should it be played. We have a good track record for breaking small unknown tracks and working them to the point where eventually they get noticed outside of our specialist area. Our online arm pays its PRS and PPL license but the money doesnt go to any of the music played on our station anyway. PRS and PPL represent the minority of the music played on the pirates. This old fashioned view of the artits/producers not getting paid is out of date, the music we play is begging for an outlet and the creators of it are always appreciative of its ONLY exposure.
