How much do your favorite artists make whenever you play their songs? One cent per stream? Half a cent per stream? Even less? 

In a new KVSC News Special Report, our Production Director Johnny takes a look at the multi-billion streaming industry, and why none of that money seems to go back to the artists.

Backstages: The One Cent Story features exclusive interviews from Nur-D, Joe Bartel, Oister Boy, and more. The program also covers the Living Wage for Musicians Act and other efforts being made to support music artists.
