No PD in the 60's would have postponed adding a new Beatles or Stones or
Supremes cut to play the Castaways chanting "Liar, Liar, you're pants are

fire..." But enough of the new songs get played that we have a nice crop
of
newcomers in country, CHR, Urban, and every other format that plays an
amount of current music.

its not that the castaways pushed off the beatles and stones music
off the air,

Nobody said that. I said that the Beatles song would likely be considered
first for play, and then if there was room for another add that week, the
Castaways might get played. Same then as now, just different artists.

its that we had a choice, and that choice enriched the
music listening, and also the health of the music industry. the music
industry uses your research, and we see how well they are doing.

Oh, how little you know. How truly, truly little. The music industry hates
radio research, because it gives fast feedback and often causes a new song
the label is pushing to be pulled in 2 or 3 weeks because it stiffed.... the
record business does not "use" radio's research because the research is
proprietary and confidential and part of each station's competitive edge. It
is certainly not shared with the record ducks.

Again, the music industry hates radio's research, and some record executives
even blame radio research for all of the music industry's problems. They are
as clueless as you are.
