Document Summary

On quotas as they are found in broadcasting music (2012) In the latter part of the 20th century, quotas were discussed, debated and in some cases introduced, in an effort to address issues and challenges confronting the broadcasting of local music in various countries and territories. There are pervasive opinions that foreign content broadcast on domestic radio without limitation stifles the creation and access to local music, a critical part of a nation"s culture and commerce, and that local music is displaced by foreign music. We will be using the term local music to refer to music which is created, produced and performed by citizens of the territory. Issues covered in this review and comments that accompany them will hopefully be of benefit in contributing to creating discussion on how best to support local music. Note: the findings reported are concluded from the consultation of public documents.
