[BC] The future of broadcasting...

[Al Stewart]

Yeah ... I recall a radio station that got tired of being told to play on the A side of singles ... so when a new recording came in my a certain artist they promoted the groves off the B side ... and it became a local hit ... carried over to a neighboring city. Stations there picked it up. Don't remember the song. Don't remember how far it went.

>'Didn't want to hear' had little to do with listeners. A decade ago I asked the music director at a country station (where I worked as engineer) why a certain new tune he liked wasn't on the playlist. He answered that the song wasn't being promoted as a 'single' by the label, and we would not play it. The weekly 'adds' list, I discovered, was purely a fiction created by the labels. 'Music director' meant nothing.
