Baltimore Black-Owned Radio Statons protested US Senate's "Radio Tax" Bill throughout B-More Thursday

US Senate Bill S.379 Performance Rights Act - Link: http://www.opencongress.org/bill/111-s379/show

Senate Bill 379 is a bill, which will destroy Black Radio and remove it from our list of radio listening choices. This bill taxes radio stations based on the items played for their listening audience. S. 379 will place a huge burden on radio stations in today’s economy. Radio stations will have to begin cutting programs that do not bring in huge profits. Since the revenue from most Black Radio stations is small or nonexistent, they will be the first to go. Most of the tax revenue will be sent overseas to foreign companies that own many of the record labels.
