ASCAP VS. NAB: LAST INNING SCORE
With unrenewed contracts in the broadcast music dead¬ lock expiring December 31st, it won’t be long now until definite results are known.
Edwin C. Mills, Chairman of the Administrative Committee of the American Society of Composers, and Neville Miller, Presi¬ dent of the National Association of Broadcasters, present the eleventh hour positions of these two strong organizations in the November issue of Adve rtising and Selling.
Mr. Miller leads off as follows:
"The position which I set forth in your columns in the issues of December 1939 and January 1940 remains unchanged. Since that date, however, Broadcast Music, Inc., has made extraordinary progress and has gained the loyal adherence not only of the broad¬ casting industry but of radio advertisers, who endorse its orinciples.
"Broadcast Music, Inc., has already published under its own imprint approximately 300 selections and has, by contract with other publishers, acquired performing rights in over 150,000 compo¬ sitions. A number of BMI compositions have been on the ‘Hit Parade' and trade lists of most frequently performed compositions, and sheet music and record best sellers are studded with the names of BMI numbers. Over 85/ of the dollar volume of the broadcasting industry is now represented among BMI subscribers, and the list grows steadily. A majority of the stations in the country are enrolled with. BMI, 40/ of the 100 and 250 watt stations, 55/ of the 500 and 1000 watt stations, 70/ of the 1 kilowatt to 5 kilo¬ watt stations, and 90/ of the stations having over 5 kilowatt power are on the BMI roster. This is a representative cross-sec¬ tion of the entire industry, and networks own only 23 percent of the BMI stock.
