How are fees calculated for a per program licensee?
For 2001, 2002 and 2003 per program fees are calculated in the same manner described above. For 2004-2006 we have modified and simplified per program licenses by providing for four different levels of fees to be paid based on the number of “weighted programming periods” which the station broadcasts with any feature uses of BMI music. We have continued to use a weighted 15 minute programming period as was the case in the pre-existing per program licenses. Stations that use no BMI feature music will pay BMI a base fee calculated on a flat dollar basis instead of a percentage of station revenues and stations that play some music will pay BMI a feature fee similar to the fee paid in the pre-existing per program license but based on three different “tiers” of music use (meaning how many weighted programming periods contain BMI music).
