A recent decision was made in Washington D.C. that threatens Internet radio programming. According to the SaveNetRadio Coalition, the Copyright Royalty Board (CRB), the group that sets royalty rates for Internet radio, announced a 300% to 1,200% increase in the fees webcasters will have to pay to stream online radio. These new rates are to take effect on July 15th. CRB also set a new $500 minimum fee for every channel an organization offers.
