Burger King does have a deal with Sirius/XM, but then again, they will also sell their services to any small business that needs music.  

The advantage to that is that fees include the licencing fees which every business who uses music must pay.  Socan has been known to go after small businesses and medical/dental offices that pipe in music without paying a fee.

But that reminds me.

On last week's Dancing With The Stars, Boyz II Men singer Wanya Morris danced to The Star Spangled Banner.  I half expected the audience to spontaneously rise when it started.

If they're so upset about this why do they go back every day. If the franchisee sees his profits declining he can find a few bucks to buy an FM radio and play Cobourg's new MYFM 93.3. 

They should head down to Timmy's. No wait....that's American now too.

There's always the Ganny.
 

Well played myFM, well played.  [golf clap]

Port Hope, ON. April 13, 2016:  After a front page story published in the Toronto Sun this morning revealing concern from local customers about the Port Hope McDonald’s franchise airing an American radio station over their in-house PA system, including a daily broadcast of the American National Anthem at 9am, local broadcaster My Broadcasting Corp. including myFM 93.3 and Classic Rock 107.9, has partnered with McDonald’s to help solve the issue and provide access to hyper-local radio for the customers and staff at the McDonald’s Port Hope Location.

Rob Mise, General Manager for the My Broadcasting Corporation in Peterborough and Cobourg says, “My Broadcasting Corporation has a tremendous relationship with all the McDonald’s restaurants in our 17 markets across the province. In fact, most restuarants are playing a myFM station for customers to enjoy.  We're thrilled to add Port Hope to the family and we can't wait for McHappy Day on May 4.”
Local McDonald’s franchisee, Lisa Wilson adds, “I'm thrilled that My Broadcasting Corporation approached me with this solution. We have a great local partnership and I'm happy to have their music playing in the restaurant for our guests.
