NME reports that Indie Labels Threaten To Boycott MTV (Europe).

THE WHITE STRIPES, PRODIGY, CRAIG DAVID and BASEMENT JAXX are among a huge number of artists set to boycott MTV in Europe in an escalating row over how much money the music channel pays to broadcast videos.

MTV Networks Europe has set a deadline of March 31 for independent record labels representing artists to agree to a new rights contract worth less than half of the previous deal, reports The Guardian. If agreement isn’t reached, the music channel could lose access to around 20 per cent of releases.
