Any evidence to back that statement up "most of the money", since PRS a non-profit organisation?

PRS members' earnings are dependent upon how many times licences have been granted for their material. For three minutes of airplay on a British national radio station, the PRS will pay in the region of £50. Payments for airplay on smaller or local radio stations will be less. Although the PRS has paid the £50 sum, often it does not all go to the person who wrote the song. Much depends on what arrangement they have with their music publisher, if they have one. If the arrangement is a 50/50 split of PRS payments, they get 50 per cent of £50. If it is a 60/40 split, the songwriter or composer would get 60 per cent, and so on. Not all songwriters or composers have music publishers though, and would receive the full PRS payment.
