"The document names some beneficiaries of Sony BMG's illegal largesse. Dave Universal, who was fired in January from his post as program director at WKSE in Buffalo, N.Y., received trips to New York, Miami and Ft. Lauderdale, Fla., in return for playing singles by Jennifer Lopez, Good Charlotte and Franz Ferdinand. Programrs (sic) in New York, San Diego, Albany, N.Y., and Milwaukee also are cited."
