| Important Note: Beginning in 2008, streaming radio stations will no longer be allowed to report royalty fees by "aggregate tuning hour" as a result of the new royalty fee arrangement announced late in 2007 by the RIAA. Under the new policy, stations are required to report on a per performance basis, or the total number of people listening each time a performance is played. |
| Liquid Compass’s RIAA Reporter removes the burden for stations of creating a per performance report by generating a monthly report that automatically calculates the station’s fee. In addition, RIAA Reporter provides the necessary quarterly reports in RIAA compliant spreadsheet format containing required data such as: Artist, Song Title, Album Name, etc. To generate the required reports, stations only need to log onto the Liquid Compass Client Control Center and select from pre-populated dropdown menus such as call letters and data range. |
| Along with Liquid Compass’s RIAA Reporter, stations have access to important listener data and streaming statistics with a click of a button. Listed to the right are additional reports that can be generated directly through the Client Control Center. |
| Liquid Compass has partnered with industry leading companies to allow you to choose add-on products and services with your stream hosting or web contract that will best suit your needs. | |||||

More importantly, this means that your station or group of stations no longer need to worry about hiring or training new staff to manage your streaming media initiative, learn a new application to manage and traffic your in-stream commercial inventory or oversee sales executives to ensure that ads are scheduled properly. That’s what we’re here for! |
