Chairman of the Ghana Music Rights Organisation (GHAMRO), Rex Omar, has revealed that his outfit has revamped its royalty collection system.
According to him, GHAMRO now collaborates with an Irish company that helps to identify the songs being played on all radio and TV stations across the country and also come up with a new payment system.
In an interview on Happy FM, Mr. Omar explained that, unlike previous years when an artiste’s album among others, influenced how much he or she got paid, the new system will indicate which song was played from which artiste, the time it was played, how long the song was played, the radio station that played the song and every other detail.
He told the host, Doctar Cann that, “the system will aggregate the number of songs of each registered artiste that were played and then from the logging, we know which artistes to pay and how much to pay them.”
Mr. Omar added that now, the number of songs from an artiste that is played will determine how much money they will earn as royalties.
