Radio At Work

Anyone on here had the Performing Rights on or heard about being done for having the radio on in the office or warehouse? :unknw:

 

Been told to turn all ours off here, as they've been on to the MD.

No - they'll have been on to the MD to demand money, and he's said 'f?ck that, they can go without'

If you have a TV license for the building you are OK I think?

A TV licence permits you to receive certain broadcast signals. It is not concerned with copyright material. If you play copyright music in public by any means you are likely to need a PRS Music Licence. PRS licenses the public performance of music that is included on TV such as theme tunes, adverts and music played within films and TV programmes.

The formula for working out the cost of the relevant licence is (or at least was):

 

Number of days music played in year x hours per day (expressed in half hour units) x number of employees (expressed in units of 25) x ?0.0684

No - they'll have been on to the MD to demand money, and he's said 'f?ck that, they can go without'

should you not be working instead of listenin t`radio...............jsl.. :D

i would rather work in silence than listen to a snide-ass copy of mcfly as they do/did in jjb. this is your opportunity to start your own work based radio station. couple of aled jones cd, and a mike and your on your way. 'tis how howard stern started

so if you are Johnny Sales Rep - can you not listen to the radio in your car now?

are truck drivers banned too?

 

bollocks!

 

ain't got one for home, so no chance of me having one for work!

Music audible to workers at

their work stations or otherwise

during the course of their work in

factories, works and other similar

industrial premises, and in

offices: Costs 20p per hour per 25 employees. (approx)

Music is a very personal taste thing and radios are noise pollution in an office enviornment.

I listen to the radio on my mp3 player specifically to cut out the noise of others not working around me. Tell him it increases your productivity.

An elf n safety nazi collered me whilst I was happy plastering away listening John Gaunt on talk sport,` yeah I know, ` he told me it was a distraction.. We argued the toss but he finaly got his gestapo way. He told me I could not be concentrating whilst listening to the radio, I asked him if he dove a vehicle and listened the radio whilst doing so, he grinned and left me in peace , TWA T.,,,,,,,take no shite from these safety wan kers.

Depends entirely upon where you are and what you're doing. Anyone wandering around listening to music, wearing earphones, should be thrown off site - they're a danger to themselves and everyone else.

Tried that he wasn't buying it.

That is the biggest load of old horseshit i have ever heard,

 

"performing rights" go and fcuk off. =D>

We had a letter from the prs about six months ago saying our company had to pay for a licence to listen to the radio,but we have since moved premises so have not been bothered since. It is true though ,as i used to work in a record shop and we had to have said licence. It applys to all work places and any buisness premises that the general public go in to. It has always been the case but untill recently the prs only chased shops,pubs clubs ect. for money, now they seem to be clamping down on everyone.

We had them on our back about 12 months ago. I had to complete all the paperwork and worked out our

 

licence would cost about ?300. Sent all the stuff off but haven't heard from them since :pardon:
