We're seriously in need of some work here. KJ97, one of our local country stations, promised to ban their play until they (a)made a public apology on air and (b)played a free gig at one of the three Air Force or one Army installations here in San Antonio.
They've done neither, but they're back on the air now.
Payola is not a sixties scandel that passed, it never left the industry. These D.J's, and program managers still get perks for a spin.
AND YOU CAN BET ON THAT. THIS IS INSIDER INFORMATION.
