Broadcasters and music artistes Wednesday reached a landmark deal on monthly royalty tariffs, ending a feud that has lasted for more than five years.

The agreement between the Media Owners Association (MoA) and three societies licensed to collect royalties on behalf of music artistes will see the disputed tariffs gazetted on April 21 by Attorney General Githu Muigai revoked. The societies in the deal are Performers Rights Society of Kenya (PRISK), Kenya Association of Music Producers (KAMP) and Music Publishers Association of Kenya (MPAKE).
