<p>Hi, </p>
<p>Welcome back to the number one place to keep up with the latest developments in community radio in the UK.</p>
<p>This week is going to be one of the easiest blogs to write as it on one of my pet hates PPL (sfx loud scream please)</p>
<p>Yes the Mafia of the music world, even scarier than the tax man after all they take their cut before him.</p>
<p>It all started when a colleague of mine was telling me the trouble he has paying his PPL bills.</p>
<p>Like you he runs or works on a non profit making community radio station which as it says on the tin does not make a profit.</p>
<p>Now first up he should not even be paying PPL until this month!!!! that's right non profit making organisations were free from PPL fees until April 2010.</p>
<p>---------------------</p>
<p>Are you looking for low cost radio commercials that sound a million dollars?Radioads are specialists in producing the whole project for you from writing the script to voicing, and producing.</p>
<p>We can normally turn round a project in three working days from first email to finished product in your inbox.</p>
<p>Our prices start at just 65 for a one voice music bed so if you are looking for highly professional ad's to give your station that professional sound and your advertisers a campaign that works.</p>
<p>Now for all you super dj's we also produce sweepers from 9.99</p>
<p>Email: </p>
<p> ---------------------</p>
<p>So why like all the other community radio stations have they been paying for the last five years.</p>
<p>Well of course when it came to community radio, well it's radio they always pay nobody thought to tell them that they were a not for profit organisation so according to the rules laid down by PPL they were exempt.</p>
<p>How much has your station paid over the last few years? I feel a court case coming on..................</p>
<p>Anyway back to the point all he wanted to do was pay by direct debit every month, all companies do that, don't they?</p>
<p>Not PPL they want your money and they want it a year in advance do not try talking to them they are above the law, otherwise they will send the boys round (cue horses head on pillow).</p>
<p>Now any sensible person will know they are being silly as long as you set up the direct debit and pay money into their account each month there is not a thing they or any company for that can do about it.</p>
<p>Under english law you have made a commitment to pay which is all you need to do.</p>
<p>Of course they will hate you for it, they will chase you for it, but you can sleep at night knowing they can do nothing.</p>
<p>Lastly on this little rant of mine (I told you they were a pet hate) a question (rhetorical) why do they take the money from your advertising revenue, and not the music you play?</p>
<p>Well firstly it would mean more paper work for them and they don't like that secondly of course they make 10 times more money.</p>
<p>legalised prostitution in my world.</p>
<p>Until next week please leave your comments.</p>
<p>Happy DayzThe DG</p>
