Presuming this would include things like iHeartRadio premieres where hourly airplay is announced as being brought to you by the company and/or the label. From the New York Times: read more

No, what they want is to move the disclosures away from most listeners altogether. Ideally I suspect they'd simply like to see them abolished, but that'd be a non-starter.

Honestly what's the difference? Do consumers care when they hear "New Music By (insert artist name), brought to you by iHeartMedia" at the start of the song that plays at the top of the hour on every iHeart station in the country for 3 days straight?

Honestly what's the difference? Do consumers care when they hear "New Music By (insert artist name), brought to you by iHeartMedia" at the start of the song that plays at the top of the hour on every iHeart station in the country for 3 days straight? I was kind of thinking that, at first. But I wouldn't doubt there is a certain subset of people who are probably turned off when they hear a song has a radio deal, yet are all for a song when they think it's taking off on its own. I wonder if this is about the fact that some people are more apt to buy into something when they don't know how hard it's being sold to them.
