Rocket from Russia Episode September 19, 2013

Episode #49, Local music ONLY

10:00am - 11:00am

Happy Hello Hello Hello!

This week we were audited by SOCAN (Society of Composers, Authors and Music Publishers of Canada). Their job is to make sure that we are following Canadian content rules and that at least 35% of our airplay is partly written, produced, presented, or otherwise contributed to by persons from Canada. Very official! For us it’s never a problem, be we support a lot of Canadian and local artists.

Their other function is to pay radioplay royalties to the bands. So anytime we have this audit, I try to play as many as possible bands from Vancouver.

Hope you will enjoy this 100% Vancouver episode of Rocket From Russia!
