# CrankCast Jukebox

> CrankCast Jukebox, LLC hangs AMI NGX Curve commercial digital jukeboxes in bars, restaurants, and entertainment venues at zero cost to the house. CrankCast owns the machine, services it, and pays ASCAP, BMI, SESAC, and GMR performing-rights fees for songs played on that box. The venue keeps a cut of plays. The split lives in the agreement.

CrankCast is an AMI operator, not TouchTunes. The hardware is the AMI Entertainment NGX Curve (dual 18.5" HD screens, RGB arc, tap-to-pay, AMI Music app). Rock Rage Network programming is not the catalog on the jukebox.
