Internet Radio Licence

Your solution for broadcasting music online

Launching 1 October 2025

From live broadcasts to catch-up shows, music keeps listeners coming back. Play the music your audience loves while supporting the songwriters and composers behind it.

The new Internet Radio Licence makes it simple to share the tracks your audience loves while ensuring the creators behind them are rewarded.

With this licence, you can: 

  • Broadcast music live or on-demand
  • Let listeners pause, rewind, and replay for up to 30 days
  • Access PRS for Music's repertoire of over 45 million works, plus MCPS's production music library

Grow your station while supporting the songwriters and composers who create the music your listeners love.

Who it's for:

All online radio stations broadcasting to UK listeners, including:

  • Subscription services
  • Ad-supported or sponsored stations
  • Non-profit or community platforms
  • Speech-stations with some music

 

Built for internet radio.

Shaped in consultation with broadcasters and rights holders, this licence reflects how audiences listen today.

 

Be ready when it goes live.

The Internet Radio Licence launches on 1 October 2025.
