KVRX is a federally licensed Class A non-commercial, educational (NCE) FM broadcast station operated by Texas Student Media at the University of Texas-Austin on behalf of the University of Texas System Board of Regents, the station licensee, in Austin, Texas. KVRX is staffed by students under the management of one-part-time adviser and an administrative staff of six full-time professionals. KVRX operates on the air from 7 p.m. to 9 a.m. weekdays and from 7 p.m. to 10 a.m. weekends, but also streams over the internet 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The station has a compelling interest in the aforementioned proceedings because of the large amount of programming that is streamed over the Internet. KVRX is currently in compliance with statutory performance royalty requirements, such as filing Reports of Use to SoundExchange and paying the minimum fee of $500 annually based upon our ATH statistic. Meting the current standard has been a difficult and labor intensive project, involving manual entry of play data, since much of our recorded music is played live from either CD's or vinyl LP records in our station library. KVRX has never exceeded the current ATH threshold that establishes the minimal annual payment for small non-commercial webcasters.
