Bulgarian National Radio (BNR) says that it has reached a deal with copyright body Musicautor, meaning that it can start playing music and songs recorded less than 70 years ago, the Novinte news website reports.
"We will not change the profiles of the programmes, we will rather launch new channels with various types of music," BNR`s Velev told reporters.

However, BNR is now thinking twice about reverting to its old style of music programming in the aftermath of the new agreement.
With the bulk of Bulgarian popular music unavailable to BNR, it had been forced to play only classical and folklore songs recorded before 1946, alongside the few pop songs where the artist had granted the radio permission.
