Even though I-Tunes Download with Alex Luke is owned by Premiere Radio, I am suprised that it is not on more stations, especially those owned by Clear Channel. Does anyone have a theory why? It has been almost a year since it debuted. I don't think any station near where I live carries it.

Because it's not a good show?
As far as Clear Channel is concerned, not everything is a cram-down there, believe it or not. As far as the show's quality, Premiere doesn't really have any programming people in their entire building, so that should tell you something.
I like the show too. What I don't like is that they puss out on playing records charting on the Itunes Top 25 but aren't being played on CHR radio yet.
Anyone remember American Top 40 in the 70s and 80s? Sean Ross touched on it a couple of weeks ago. The beauty of the nationally syndicated countdown was that it played all 40 songs that were charting on Billboard's Hot 100. This meant that any station that carried the shows usually played all 40 songs in their entirety regardless of whether they were being supported locally or not.
Why even bother airing a nationally syndicated countdown today if you're going to edit out certain songs? You don't see any station edit out parts of Open House Party, or those lame/annoying Religious shows that sometimes air early on Sunday morning.
