I'm not aware of talk stations having to pay royalties. That really
would be outrageous but wouldn't surprise me much. One of the problems
that I'm concerned about is that there were stations that were playing
music over which SoundExchange has no authority, and I think the
stations *do* have to pay SoundExchange for those. The other was that
the royalty rates made it impossible for small stations to remain
operational. I think it's still a big problem if there's a deal by
which only the big stations can survive. That would be a "tragedy of
the Internet" by mocking what's happened to traditional radio.
