Between XM and the oddball music ported to the smart phone, I almost never listen to any of the local stations.

“last time I listened to FM radio the time spent in commercials equaled the music broadcast time. “
It is. Literally. I’ve been working on a special project in the garage and tried to listen to an FM station. They would play 10 minutes of repeated tracks then 10+ minutes of commercials. They had maybe 30 songs they repeated. I had to turn it off.

So artists have never been paid royalties other than the composers and writers. Kind of late as most of those that could have benefited are retired or dead and radio is not what it was.

Her finances have been mismanaged for years, it’s her own responsibility.

Besides. Who listens to radio anymore. I gave up radio when Rush died. His replacements suck. Music can be accessed many different ways

No question it is her responsibility. However, if artists are being shorted on royalties, then maybe . . . Maybe she should go back to doing the Psychic Friends Network ads.

Katrina of Katrina and the Waves the song Walking on Sunshine. Even though she is not credited solely with writing it she has most of the rights to it. Song gets used in a movie every 10 years or so a commercial every 5-7 years. She has almost made a living off that one song.
To: jimfree
With her hits she should be rolling in money. What happened.

Streaming services too - worldwide.

I'd have to relearn how to find FM or AM on my car radio. Don't think I've listened to FM in more than a decade. Sirius is pocket change if you hold out for a discount.
