The Real Reason Why They Repeat the Same 20 Songs on the Radio & TV Nationwide

[labdummy]

This is what Derick G says:

"Ever wonder why you see and hear the same 20 artists on the rotation on radio & television? No, it’s not because people are calling the radio stations requesting the songs incessantly. The answer: media-consolidation. 90% of the media is controlled by only 6 companies: GE, Newscorp, Disney, Viacom & Time Warner. Compare that to 1983 when media was owned by 50 companies. According to FreePress.net, “media consolidation means less diversity in programmingand ownership, fewer voices and viewpoints, less coverage of local issues that matter to communities and less of the unbiased, independent and critical journalism we need to prevent abuses of power.” Media-consolidation has affected the balance and diversity of today’s music, which is especially evident when it comes to hip hop.

Do you know what quotation marks are for? I didn't write this/Not my opinion (*Hint* read the first few words of the first post).. Just something to discuss about on a forum

Here's my take on it: Radios play the same song because their getting paid to play the same song for promotion/marketing. Sort of why they have commercial breaks. Even though I have always thought that it's the artist/company that gets paid everytime their song is on the radio. Or maybe the song is just really good, IDK...

Maybe someone w/ experience in the entertainment biz can sort of educate us and give us a little more insight as to why I hear the same 20 songs on the radio day in and day out..

Thx
