" 365.com pays ASCAP and BMI . Members pay $ 70 for internet radio to 365 . Why couldn't TV use Vegas Vics ? Could someone please explain ? One reason is Vegas Vic's plays some of the Exotica that Trader Vic's doesn't want...that's what they call "the stuff that puts you to sleep." Personally I love it, but they want more "upbeat" Exotica...Also getting them to figure out how to hook up internet radio to their sound system would be like trying to get them to jump through a whole other hoop. I will mention it though, next time I talk to the big kahunas.
