I’ve around radio for a long time. This is nothing new about charging to play music etc. I remember back when they (record companies) paid the radio stations to play their music (payola) which became illegal. So the tables have been turned now they require radio to pay to play their music. Why shouldn’t it be illegal for them. If the artists start losing sales because radio can not afford to pay these fees and stop playing their music and go all talk or whatever how are they going to be promoted then. You can’t have concerts or have million sellers if you can’t be heard so be careful……ASCAP, BMI, etc…..not to bite the hand that’s feeding you…………most of the large corporations that are buying up all these stations are beginning to feel the pinch and are switching formats. Just a thought to those who are fed up with all of these price hikes etc…..
