The American Music Fairness Act Could Finally Make Radio Pay

Making a Scene Presents - The American Music Fairness Act Could Finally Make Radio Pay — But Indie Artists May End Up Paying a Different Price
Terrestrial radio is no longer the artist-breaking machine it once was. That is exactly why this bill matters, and exactly why indie artists should be watching it closely.
The Tower That Once Ruled the Music Business Is Not What It Used to Be

For decades, radio was the closest thing the music business had to a national ignition switch. One spin in the right market could move records, change tour offers, wake up labels, and turn a local act into a real conversation. That old story still has power because it used to be true. But in 2026, terrestrial radio is no longer the center of gravity for discovery the way it once was. Edison Research reported that in Q4 2025, radio still held 61% of all ad-supported audio listening time in the U.S., which means it remains a huge medium. But that same broad strength now lives beside a very different discovery landscape, one shaped by streaming, social media, YouTube, and recommendation engines instead of one dominant gatekeeper.
