ABC News: Paying for Play on the Radio
This, my friends, is just one more reason for me to stick with internet radio.
Some of my other reasons for not listening to regular radio include, but are not limited to:
1) Radio stations overplaying songs to death
2) Radio mostly has become a sanctuary for songwriters, not musicians
3) My tastes don’t fit into the “norm” of the major music market
Of course, that’s just my opinion. I wonder what others like to listen to for fresh tunes…
The only other thing to go along with this is… I’m thankful for the independent DJ’s that have a love for music and play whatever they feel like. I’m also thankful for services like Live 365 (pay) and Apple’s iTunes (free). There’s a plethora of other internet radio sources if one just does a casual search. Try it sometime if you haven’t done so.
