Exploration Audio Newsletter - January 15,2021

This week, The MLC consulted with the US Copyright Office (USCO) concerning the rates and terms applied under the new blanket mechanical license. The Copyright Royalty Board (CRB) is currently undergoing remand proceedings as a result of the appeal of the Phonorecords III rate proceeding by digital service providers. Once there is a final determination of rates and terms pursuant to the remand, those final rates and terms will be used by The MLC and will also apply retroactively back to January 1, 2018.

Spanish-language broadcaster Univision is launching a free, ad-supported streaming service called PrendeTV - the first such service built exclusively for Hispanic audiences in the US. It is set to debut in the first quarter of the year with some 10,000 hours of Spanish-language programming, including novelas, comedies, global TV series, sports and feature films.

YouTube has now, by default, turned on post-roll ads (ads that appear at the conclusion of a clip) on all monetized videos that are longer than 10 minutes. According to Search Engine Journal, all three formats (pre-roll, mid-roll, and post-roll ads) are turned on by default. These can also be switched off during the upload flow on future videos, or on existing videos within the monetization tab.
