Sharing ¨unpublished music¨ would be one of the changes in the Communications Law
The Superintendent of Information, Carlos Ochoa, announced that the reforms to the Communications Law his institution will request to the Assembly will established the diffusion of a percentage of “unpublished music” in certain media.
“One of the reforms that I want to propose to the law is that 100% of national music that is being broadcast on radio and television, at least a 10, 15, 20% of that music has to be unreleased,” he reported on September 9 during a meeting with composers, interpreters and music producers.
Ochoa explained that the measure seeks to ensure a space in the media to “whom are getting started” in the industry.
This refers to Article 103 of the Communications Law, which states that at least 50% of the musical content on the radio shall be produced, made or executed in Ecuador.
