For commercial stations, ASCAP & BMI combined is about 3.2% of the station's 
income OR about $900. annually.    For non-comm college-type stations, it's 
about $500. total for both.   And for the new LPFM's , a new class of fees 
will likely be created; perhaps about $300. a year total for both ASCPA & 
BMI.   I don't consider BMI & ASCAP fees being killers of LPFM.
