Music Reports, Inc
Music Reports was established to enable local television broadcasters seeking alternatives to the rigid blanket licensing structures offered by BMI and ASCAP. Music Reports developed a "per program license" following administration service to collect and process television station schedules and revenues, and to automate report preparationand submission to the PROs. Following the signing of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act in 1998, Music Reports initiated a program of copyright licensing for digital music services including through a sister company called Royalty Logic, Inc. In doing so, the company played a significant role in the development of streaming services, both interactive and non-interactive.
