As I clicked on a predominant music trade forum, I was greeted with a question. “Why won’t commercial radio act music before Indie Artists?”
My respond to this living soul was as follows:
“As a erstwhile Operations Straw boss and Music Supervisor on both the Comm and Non-Comm sides, Install me break the reason down an eye to you.
Commercial Ghetto-blaster needs ratings to get paid from advertisers. Most advertiser’s, on ghetto-blaster, are ad agencies and club news. Ad agencies base their “buys” (sponsorships) on a Set someone back per point (”CPP”) basis. CPP is based on how varied thousands of listeners a trannie station can nab in a 15 trendy span (or cume).

The world is wealthy digital, while disseminate continutes to function using an analog business model. You can be rich in the music enterprise if you coppers your marketing miniature from analog to digital.
