Buddy is from the '50s. Payola is still happening.

Jesus this is more frustrating then the time I had to babysit the kid in the helmet.
No, I can tell you it's not still happening. But if you want me to prove it: Everyone who has even the slightest connection to the music industry or radio step forward... Whoa, not so fast their Mangle. |

SONY SETTLES PAYOLA INVESTIGATION
You seriously think this was the end of Payola (July 2005, not the '70s)? Man, you are removed. |

Here's a few things you need to understand. You live in Canada. Not the US. Although most of your news sources talk about American politics, they are not the same. Don't post an article about a Payola scandal involving, Clear Channel investigated by the New York Attorney general. Both of which do not exist in Canada. Clear Channel is a pretty evil company. Which thanks to the CRTC cannot exist in Canada, ever. Seriously, as far as evil corporations they are up there: Clear Channel Communications - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Last edited by NinjaBoy; May 07, 08 at 08:40 PM. |

And as we all know, American politics have absolutely no impact on Canada whatsoever.

Just in the same way that our medical systems are vastly different, our media systems are vastly different. The CRTC is basically an organization that exists to make sure that Canadian Radio cannot be like American. You are quoting deals made with a company that has tried to move into Canada but has been denied by the government. They are a large corrupt corporation that exists in one country. So there's one point against it happening. Also, if you even had the most basic understanding of the Canadian music industry you would know that all radio music logs are sent to the CRTC for review. Combining this with financial records would make it pretty clear if payola was happening. Finally, clear channel music is directed from only a few sources. One music director will chose the music for stations in something like 20 different states. So bribing him makes sense, and is worth the risk. However, Canadian radio stations are generally structed like this in terms of music selections: Each station has music meetings involving the Program director, Music director and Assistant music director. These three people listen to the new songs and decide what can go on air. So in order for Payola to exist on this, structure, two-three people at each station have to be bribed. Based on your article that's a lot of money for only one station to play one song that might get played 12 times a day. Bribing a clear channel music director makes financial sense, because he would determine what goes on air for 100 stations. Spending that much in Canada for ONE station doesn't make any sense at all. |
