I was talking about  the problem of radio boycotting local music. Do you think
it should?

Tom Hendricks


Here's a quote about  radio from the radio reporter at the conservative and
business geared
Dallas Morning news.
"In the 6 years I've been covering radio, the prevailing sentiment among people
who've taken the time to call or write is that 'radio sucks."  Al Brumley

This protest is about

1. the end of payola (which I think is illegal and should stop)
see http://www.salon.com and search payola for 6+ articles on the new payola
2. Radio following the license agreements that they freely signed with
the FCC to get their licenses, which included
local support. If not they should loose their licenses.
3. The refusal of local musicians to keep supporting radio that refuses
to support them. Why should they.

It is time to stand up for local musicians and end the real boycott
the radio boycott of local music.
