Biz, Music: A high school radio station fought the music industry head on
- WMPH set the example for protesting performance royalties for artists. The station, based in Delaware, is the subject of an FCC complaint filed by the musicFIRST Coalition after they chose not to play any of the artists on this list for a month back in 2007 as an educational protest against the idea of paying performance royalties to artists. In a statement posted on the WMPH site, the station says that, by asking stations to pay for a promotional tool, “the musicFIRST coalition of artists is attempting to hurt the radio stations, disc jockeys, and fans that have always been their greatest ally.” source
