If this is not addressed by Radionomy, then I can only surmise there is not interest in moving forward with attracting a larger audience. Larger audience equals more ad dollars since they are based on Cost Per Thousand impressions... so it translate to more income almost immediately, hence the revenue necessary to pay additional royalty is generated to pay the fee increases. It shouldn't be an issue. It's a math problem.

RAIN News has learned that Radionomy has pulled its stations from TuneIn’s U.S. listening audience, over the cost of music licensing under the new Copyright Royalty Board (CRB) royalty rates. Radionomy told RAIN News that the company asked TuneIn to geo-block the U.S. from Radionomy streams. In an email exchange, Radionomy emphasized that the blocking action is for the U.S. only, and that its streaming business is not challenged by licensing costs in other territories.

Radionomy indicated that its shut-off on the TuneIn platform was a “temporary measure,” and said that it is engaged in discussions with music rights-holders about the value of small webcasting. The company’s formal statement expressed confidence in a resumption of U.S. streams via TuneIn “when a positive change with the U.S. rates is applied.”

Oooh look - a flying pig!
