Rehr Requests Hearing to Explore Relationship Between Artists and Labels
WASHINGTON, DC – - NAB President and CEO David K. Rehr sent a letter yesterday to House Intellectual Property Subcommittee Chairman
Howard Berman (D-CA) requesting that additional hearings be held to explore
the relationship between recording artists and their record labels.
Rehr thanked
Rep. Berman for including NAB Radio Board Second Vice Chair Charles Warfield
as a witness during a recent subcommittee hearing examining the role of
local radio in promoting music, but said additional hearings would convey
the "full picture" of the issue.
