Does an Internet Talk Show Require Royalty Payments to SoundExchange?

Keep in mind as well that if the station is running ads in-stream, you will need a SESAC license as well (pretty sure, for internet broadcasters) If I remember correctly. They are the intermediates for in-stream revinue generation. then again, you might qualify for the SESAC “All-Talk” amendment.

Wow, thank you to everyone for offering up great information, I look forward to finally nailing down a definitive answer as it will be nice to perhaps draft a sort of lay person's WIKI on the back office aspects of internet broadcasting.

@Brutish Sailor: I thought SESAC was another PRO and one would only need their blanket license if utilizing their catalog. Do you by any chance have a link to the specific issue you raised pertaining to SESAC and in-stream advertisements?

When I get back from work I'll pull it up the references. Its been a big one for JLA's for years. But your right, you might never touch a catalog listing, so your probably exempt from that clause. (should not be construed as legal advice, and as such shall be viewed solely as an individual's personal opinion LOL)
