That's a good thing for radio. You know me. I'm rarely on the side of the big radio companies, but what Dingell says here is totally correct.

Dingell is Radio's Kris Kringle
John Dingell is a very influential congressman. If he's against this additional radio royalty bill, it likely won't pass. From this morning's Radio Online...
"In a speech delivered Tuesday night at the NAB State Leadership Dinner in Washington, DC, House Energy and Commerce Committee Chairman Emeritus John Dingell (D-MI) said he opposed legislation which aims to levy royalties for local music airplay. "Recording artists and record labels have profited handsomely for years from the free publicity they get from broadcasters," said Dingell, "a mutually beneficial relationship that a performance tax will destroy."
