Have you EVER selected music in the US, and if so, have you ever
accepted
Payola?

Stop obfuscating!

I am a manager, not a music director. Your question is irrelevant.


Actually, it's not. That, with all you have said, here, you can't
simply say "yes" or "no" reveals a good deal. And that you now claim to
have once owned a record label as well as radio stations, the question
is quite relevant.

The record label was in Ecuador. Payola is only a legal concept and
proscribed in the US.
Also, in a previous thread, you've claimed you were NOT a manager,
Interesting discrepancy.


I am not a GM, and have not been since 1982.



Hmmm...Interesting...and still no answer.

Not totally unexpected.

I'm just messing with DXass. If I am not in a position to decide on new
music ads, there is no way I could have been even offered payola. So,
naturally, I have not received any.

It's amazing how people think that programmers in major markets (the only
place paying to get a song played makes any sense to the record ducks) would
risk six-figure salaries for the small amounts record companies might offer.
Payola hurts ratings, jeopardizes jobs and is certainly more talked about
than done.

The fact that less than 10 people have been indicted for this crime in the
last 50 years says a lot.
