Here we go.
Look, I've been in radio (that's IN radio, not on radio chatboards) for 32 years. Never took a bribe. Never was the recipient of largess for an add.
Yes, I got offered a few wonky deals. Ddidn't cross the line.
Not saying there aren't dirty deals out there. But the idea that they are what drives the business is a bunch of hooey. Just cause radio doesn't do what YOU think it should doesn't mean it's dirty. That's just a lame, weak, rationalization.
Here's why; if a station does what the lables want, instead of what their listeners want, their ratings will suck and they will die.
Not all that hard to follow along with...
