Be Careful What You Advertise and When:

Ashli Acker (GM/PD) of KMHT Radio 103.9FM/Marshall, TX posted a reminder on FB today that the UIL prohibits the airing of any political ads (local, state and national) during broadcasts of UIL events. This includes football and other sports. There could be a fine of up to $10K imposed on the station for violations of this law. Football has officially kicked off in Texas and so has the political campaign ads so be careful of scheduling those political spots during football and other sports broadcasts.

The Texas Music Incubator Rebate (TMIR) Program, a tax rebate program for qualifying music venues and festival promoters in Texas, will begin accepting applications for Fiscal Year 2024 from September 1, 2024 through November 30, 2024.

The TMIR Program was established by Senate Bill 609 and signed into law by Governor Abbott following the 87th Legislative Session to help support the live music industry in communities across the state. The Program is administered by the Texas Music Office (TMO).

With $20.2 million in funding approved for the biennium in the 88th Legislative Session, the TMIR Program provides qualifying music venues and festival promoters in Texas a full or partial rebate of the mixed beverage gross receipts taxes or sales taxes attributable to the sale of beer and wine in the prior fiscal year (September 1, 2023 to August 31, 2024) of up to $100,000.

The application window for Fiscal Year 2024 will open on September 1, 2024 at 9AM CT, and will close on November 30, 2024.
