Let's Put The $ in Music! Gene Simmons Calls For Radio Fairness
Thursday, 11 December, 2025
Lick It Up (Or Pay Up) as KISS frontman Gene Simmons Delivers a Fiery, Unfiltered Testimony Supporting the American Music Fairness Act.KISS co-founder Gene Simmons and SoundExchange President and CEO Michael Huppe testified before Congress in support of the American Music Fairness Act (AMFA), aiming to end the century-old loophole that allows AM/FM radio stations to play music without paying performers and sound recording owners. Simmons delivered a passionate plea, stating that American artists receive "not one cent" from terrestrial radio airplay despite the industry earning billions, labeling the practice "robbery." Huppe reinforced this argument, noting that the United States is uniquely grouped with countries like North Korea and Iran for failing to pay performance royalties, a policy failure that causes American artists to lose millions in reciprocal royalties overseas. The AMFA proposes to close this gap by requiring terrestrial broadcasters to pay for music, a move strongly opposed by broadcasters who argue the new fees would create undue financial burdens, especially on small local stations, as the Senate revives the radio royalty fight.Gene Simmons' high-profile testimony before Congress on the American Music Fairness Act (AMFA) echoes Frank Zappa's famous 1985 appearance by bringing a distinctly outspoken rock star persona directly into the halls of power to tackle a core issue of artist rights and economic freedom.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-broadcasters-podcast--3684131/support.Contact KOP for professional podcast production, imaging, and web design services at http://www.kingofpodcasts.comSupport KOP by subscribing to his YouTube channel and search for King Of PodcastsFollow KOP on X and TikTok @kingofpodcasts (F Meta!)Listen to KOP’s other programs, Podcasters Row… and the Wrestling is Real Wrestling Podcast and The Broadcasters Podcast.Buy KOP a Coffee https://buymeacoffee.com/kingofpodcastsDrop KOP a PayPal https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_button_id=3TAB983ZQPNVLDrop KOP a Venmo https://account.venmo.com/u/kingofpodcastsDrop KOP a CashApp https://cash.app/$kingofallpodcasts
