BMI, or Broadcast Music, Inc., is an American performing rights organization founded in October 1939 in New York City by the National Association of Broadcasters. The organization was chartered as a nonprofit after ASCAP moved to double radio-licensing fees, and it began operating in February 1940. BMI was the first U.S. performing rights body to register songwriters in blues, jazz, R&B, gospel, country, Latin, and rock and roll, genres ASCAP largely ignored, and it has operated an open-door policy for unsigned writers since launch. BMI now represents over 1.4 million songwriters and 22.4 million works. Supreme has produced apparel using BMI's logo under license.
