Classical, jazz, Americana, folk, and regional music is often only heard on public radio. Local artists, bands, symphonies, and orchestras depend on public radio stations to reach an audience. Public media funding also covers the payment of music rights fees for stations, but without the ability to negotiate these same blanket uses and fees, the music broadcast by local stations could vanish. Don’t stop the music. Vote against rescission and preserve funding for local public radio.
