Commercial Radio Stations
Makers of sound recordings have the exclusive right to reproduce
and authorize the reproduction of their sound recordings.
AVLA/SOPROQ issues licenses to all Canadian commercial radio
stations that reproduce sound recordings in connection with a
station's over-the-air broadcasting operations. An AVLA/SOPROQ
licence enables radio broadcasters to choose from millions of sound
recordings without having to obtain clearances for each track
individually.
Applicable AVLA/SOPROQ Tariff
On July 10, 2010, the Copyright Board certified the statement of
royalties to be collected by AVLA/SOPROQ for the reproduction of
sound recordings by Canadian commercial radio stations for the
years 2008 to 2011. A copy of the certified tariff can be found here and the decision here.
