Lets assume each AM/FM broadcast went out to 10,000 people. If we do the math, we find that it is equal to the rate of $7 per million plays:
$1373.78 / (18797 * 10000) * 1000000 = $7.31
Now lets do the math for Pandora:
$ 16.89 / 1159000 * 1 000 000 = $14.57
So this writer is ACTUALLY COMPLAINING that Pandora merely pays DOUBLE the royalty rate of terrestrial radio.
- smackfu 13y agoYou do realize you just made up that 10,000 number out of thin air?
- abtinf 13y agoThat's why I preface it with "lets assume" instead of "I know for a fact". These are what we call "words" and they have "meaning".
- smackfu 13y agoMy point is that your conclusion that they pay DOUBLE the rate is entirely based on this number that you give no justification for. If your comment started with "Lets assume each AM/FM broadcast went out to 5,000 people," then the rates would be roughly the same. So yeah, you can assume that number is true, but what's the point.
- emn13 13y agoIn principle you have a point, but a quick google shows that his number is entirely reasonable. I mean, I wouldn't read to much into the exact numbers here, but the scale is definitely comparable.
- lucisferre 13y agoI think you mean he could be complaining that they merely pay double.
