History of Freeform Radio
The Rise of Alternative Radio
The radio industry is regulated by the FCC and is represented by the National
Association of Broadcasters (NAB). Radio revenue is generated from
commercial advertising by corporations and small businesses. Nearly
half of all radio stations in America are owned by a major radio
chain which includes Clear Channel, CBS Radio and Entercom. A high
percentage of music played on corporate stations comes from the
four major record labels. Independent artists looking to gain radio
airplay should start out with specialty shows and build a story from there.
