Controversial legislation is brewing in Washington that will affect the radio broadcasting industry. The bill would enact a  performance tax.  It would benefit artists whose music is played on radio stations, like Texas State's K-T-S-W.  Broadcasters would have to pay an extra fee, and it's a fee they don't want to pay.The National Association of Broadcasters is opposing the bill stating that radio stations already provides two-point-four (b) billion dollars in sales for the music industry. The N-A-B also argues that the fee would force some small stations off the air and that up-and-coming artists would struggle to get air time.
