Yarona FM increases local music airplay

The urban youth broadcaster said on Friday that they decided to level the playing field by putting a local track for every international song on rotation. 

This comes in the wake of a spat between local artists and Copyright Society of Botswana (COSBOTS) over royalties. A fortnight ago, some local artists stormed COSBOTS premises demanding payment of their royalties. Artists were complaining that it had been a long time since they last received their royalties from COSBOTS, and when they finally did, it was just peanuts.
