Do i have to have a license to play my transistor radio?

Question

Hi, i have taken my transistor radio to work, and my firm told me i cannot listen to it withoutb a license, true, or not?

Answer 1

If you listen to it with headphones you are OK. Otherwise you may be falling foul of the Performing Rights Society licencing. See their website http://www.mcps-prs-alliance.co.uk/Pages...

Answer 2

As it will be played in a public place, you need a performing rights licence which I believe is £90 per year

Answer 3

You do not need a licence for the radio.  However if you do not listen though a headset, you will need to get permission for public performance.

Answer 4

If they have a license then NO

Answer 5

If your firm have a TV licence,this covers radios,regardless of who they belong to.

Answer 6
