Just a hunch that "CQ" isn't all too familiar with the radio business, but rather, most interested in getting his music heard (and $OLD).
Come on, right?
It's hard to take something like this serious when letters aren't capitalized when called for, punctuation isn't used as it should, misspellings etc. And if you want to bring Clear Channel's faults to our attention, you better point us in the direction of what we should be looking for rather than linking us to a lengthy Consent Decree and hope we've got nothing better to do but to read it all through.
Do some documentation on your website. We'll use the FCC link to fact-check.
The website has pretty much told me nothing.
As for the reasons why music you hear on the radio "sucks"... It's probably because: 1.) They're not playing YOUR music that you're trying to get out, 2.) You're possibly not in the targeted Demo, 3.) Your tastes don't match the majority of the listeners of the station you listen to, and 4.) You might think music research, Billboard charts, and the likes, are all wrong.
It's not any radio corporation's job to cater to local bands just because they're a local band. If you want to make a successful career out of the music business, and get your music played on the radio, you better cover all avenues that people discover music, and be a big hit in the Valley. Then you can be another Alice Cooper, Gin Blossoms, The Format, or Jimmy Eat World.
This is certainly not Hogan's (newest) idea of "local"... 8)
