OTTAWA – This week the CAB filed its objections to SOCAN’s proposed tariffs for 2009 for commercial television (SOCAN Tariff 2.A), specialty and pay (SOCAN Tariff 17), radio (SOCAN Tariff 1.A), and Internet (SOCAN Tariff 22).
The CAB says it has reserved the right to make further submissions to consolidate NRCC Tariff 9 (television and specialty and pay) with proceedings for SOCAN Tariffs 2.A and 17 before the Copyright Board, with the goal of achieving a single payment for a single use.
The CAB also reserved the right to make further submissions to consolidate NRCC Tariff 8 (simulcasting/webcasting) with the proceeding for SOCAN Tariff 22 before the Copyright Board. SOCAN Tariff 1.A is included in the forthcoming Consolidated Radio Proceeding; the hearing for this proceeding is to begin December 2, 2008.
The CAB says it continues to work in consultation with the Radio Copyright Working Group.
