Some might say this is a good thing. However I think it's rather a shame that the BBC will now not play music from these artists, covers or samples of their songs and more. From an internal email: This is because the BBC have no means of paying these people through the blanket arrangement they have with the Mechanical Copyright Protection Society (MCPS) because the performers no longer use it. They are all registered with another licensing body, with whom, the Beeb, apparently can't find a way to make an agreement. Article |

I hardly ever use the radio to discover music I tend to prefer streaming services for that these days

Yes but what I trying to say there was a time when the BBC was my main source for discovering music that has changed many years ago to the point I might watch the odd concert Jools Holland and documentary related to music

It will be interesting to see if the likes of Janis Long or Bob Harris take any notice of the twerps who run the BBC. No wonder the new govt are on their case. Will they sack Radio 2 big names who play these Classic rock artists? Sure I heard 'Riders in The Storm ' the other night. I'm sure the commercial classic rock stations aren't having a problem.

"It's too hard so we won't do it" Completely agree. The BBC need to try harder. |

If they completely banned that sort of shite then they'd have to listen to the likes of The Doors, Neil Young and Bonny Raitt  |

Will they sack Radio 2 big names who play these Classic rock artists? Sure I heard 'Riders in The Storm ' the other night. I'm sure the commercial classic rock stations aren't having a problem. Janis Long & Bob Harris won't break any bans the Beeb imposes. If they're restricted to playing music from the BBC's music servers then they just won't get access to the banned list - it doesn't mean that the material isn't on the servers, it just means that access will be barred until such time as a licensing agreement is made. The romantic notion of a radio DJ spinning 45s (or CDs) is a thing of the past. I checked the music listings for Janis Long's show last week, and The Doors do not appear on the playlists. Bob's playlists show a total lack of Doors music too. The commercial stations won't have a problem right up to the point that the lawyer's letters start hitting the desks of said station's CEOs. Then they'll have a problem, unless of course they have already agreed to pay royalties to this other licensing body. The problem might well be resolved when the banned list artists feel a pain in the wallet because the BBC isn't paying them anything any more. |

Neil Young has apparently banned any of his music being streamed by any site other than Pono, so the likes of Spotify, Tidal etc etc won't get a look in.
It looks like a unilateral attempt to increase traffic from his own streaming service.
A little search on Pono Music also finds Bonnie Raitt's catalogue.
The same with Journey and The Doors.
What's the betting that Pono Music are the licensing body the broadcasters are having to deal with?
The BBC is covering its backside because of its commitments to providing listener content over various carriers.

Ah, I missed the article bit (as I suspect did quite a few others). The BBC's coverage of Glastonbury a few years back would have been interesting had this come to light back back then  I guess that's one we'll never see again  |

Yep,how on earth are they going to get away with all those previous years of wanton Neil Young airplay?

Steve Wright show was playing Journey 'Don't Stop Believing' last week so maybe the ban has been lifted.
