Behind the Music: How Redneck Junction Radio Honors the Artists Who Make It All Possible 

 

At Redneck Junction Radio, we don’t just spin the tunes—we proudly stand behind the voices, verses, and visionaries who make the music we love. Our airwaves are powered by legends and newcomers alike, and we believe in giving credit where it’s due—not just in name, but in action.

 

That’s why every song you hear on Redneck Junction Radio is fully licensed and royalty-compliant, with payments made through a global network of music rights organizations. These include:

 

Composer & Songwriter Royalties:

 

  • ASCAP (American Society of Composers, Authors, and Publishers)
  • BMI (Broadcast Music, Inc.)
  • SESAC (Society of European Stage Authors and Composers) 
  • GMR (Global Music Rights)

Why It Matters:  

Fair licensing isn’t just legal—it’s ethical. It’s our way of honoring the storytellers behind the soundtrack of our lives. Whether it’s a down-home country classic, a boot-stomping anthem, or an Alabama ballad straight from Fort Payne, every note played supports the creators who made it happen.

 

So the next time you're tappin' your foot or singing along with Redneck Junction Radio, you can feel good knowing that the music you're enjoying is more than a vibe—it’s part of a bigger promise to respect and reward the craft behind the curtain.
