Copyright collection societies by countries

Copyright collection societies by countries

Radio stations are generally required to hold the appropriate music licences for the country or territory in which they operate.

The table below lists copyright and music royalty collection societies by country to help you identify the organisation responsible for licensing radio broadcasts in your location.

Use it as a starting point when arranging or verifying your station licence. Requirements can vary by country and by the type of service you operate, so always check directly with the relevant collection society if you are unsure which licence applies to your station.
