Scientific novelty of the research consists in revealing the main provisions on the existing in the international practice phenomenon of “air time quotas for music content for radio stations” and identifying the key issues and problems of relevance and rationality of this practice in the XXI century, in the era of Internet. Conclusions. Analysis of European experience and specialized sources allowed to conclude that quotas are an important domestic political factor of promotion of the national music products. At the state level legislator should take into account such rate and structure of quota, which will answer media market ones and not to prevent the growth or restrict the diversity in this sector.
