No, not at all. Payola is long gone. Back when there was payola, PDs
were happy to play new music, because the record companies paid them to
play new music. Now everybody is terrified of playing new music, so they
all have become followers. Payola is what kept radio fresh and interesting
for years, and what you're seeing with the current homogenization of commercial
radio is what has happened as a result of it being eliminated.
