AIRCO has always taken the view that there should be one collection society that administers Performance Rights of recorded music works ("Needletime") on behalf of all record companies and performers. A fundamental rationale for the forming of a collection society is the significant benefits of economies of scale that are derived. This holds true in the largest economies in the world and is an even more important, if not a critical factor, in smaller territories such as South Africa.

AIRCO is concerned that much of the content played on radio and TV is international repertoire and a second area of focus for AIRCO’s broadcast committee is to improve local content usage by South African broadcasters.
