Westworld Digital Audio Broadcasting
WDAB online broadcasts came to an end on January 31, 2016.
The Copyright Royalty Board (CRB), the governing entity responsible for establishing sound recording royalty rates paid to copyright holders, recently published new rates for the period from 2016 to 2020. Unfortunately, the previous provisions allowing small webcasters to opt for a percentage-of-revenue model were not renewed. As a result, legally streaming copyrighted musical content has become prohibitively expensive for Westworld Digital Audio Broadcasting Inc. (WDAB). The absence of this license prompted WDAB to cease online streaming music broadcasts on January 31, 2016, following the CRB ruling issued in December 2015. We will miss you and sincerely appreciate everyone who supported us over the past 11 years.
