"PLAYOLA" RADIO STATION PLAN
Radio boss JACK BURSACK from WSVT-AM
in Nashville has come up with a plan to
bring more money into his statign... by
charging record companies for playing
their records. "Payola" (payment for
playing records) is quite common but
always kept secret; with "playola" the
station would be quite open about it.
BURSACK believes the idea will wgrk
because he broadcasts to an area where
a lot of influential music industry
people live, and smaller bands will pay
for the ears of top music executives.
