Does Entandem cover radio, TV and streaming music?

It depends on the source and use. Entandem's current FAQ says that a business does not need a separate music licence for AM/FM radio. It also says that personal streaming subscriptions used in a public or commercial setting normally require public performance licences.

Playing recorded music from a service, using live music or hosting an event can therefore require an Entandem licence. Broadcasting music online, a concert stream or another internet use may be handled directly by SOCAN or under a separate licence.

You do not need a separate Entandem licence if you only use MelloJam

If your business plays only MelloJam music through the MelloJam player, you are not using music from the repertoire covered by Entandem's licensing route. MelloJam's original catalogue and the commercial playback rights it controls are included in your MelloJam plan, so you do not need a separate licence from Entandem for the MelloJam playback itself.

A separate non-waivable venue charge can still apply where local law imposes one. Radio, television, Spotify, other recordings, live music, DJs, events, copying and online use are outside the MelloJam plan.
