"Radio listeners weary of hearing the same songs over
and over may have something to cheer about:
Broadcasters have tentatively agreed to anti-payola
settlements that could shake up music playlists at
some of the nation's largest radio chains.
Four major broadcast companies would pay the
government $12.5 million and provide 8,400 half-hour
segments of free airtime for independent record labels
and local artists, The Associated Press has learned. . ."
Yes there's more to the article but I wanted you to know
the good news in brief.
Cheers, Tim
