Jukebox Licensing 

Below is recent correspondence received from the Jukebox License Office regarding operators’ jukebox music licensing:

We want to inform you of an important change to your public performance jukebox license.

As of 2025, we have closed the long-established Jukebox License Office. While we maintained the joint-venture clearinghouse for many years, it is no longer operationally efficient, and we decided to transition away from offering a single PRO license to separate ASCAP, BMI and SESAC licenses.

What this means for you:

Effective calendar year 2025, you will need to go to ASCAP, BMI and SESAC individually for an annual, coin-operated jukebox license.

  • By July 1st,  we will send follow-up communication with specific instructions on making this change.   
  • Please note: As we transition to a new process, you will remain a deemed licensee and are not at risk of infringement for use of ASCAP, BMI and SESAC’s repertory.
  • If you have any questions, you can continue to contact our team at [email protected] until further notice. 

We appreciate your understanding as we implement operational improvements. 

Thank you for your continued patronage.
