Okay, I just wanted to share this.
A local radio station is doing a pay-for-play format today, where they will play any song that they can legally play based on contributions which are collected for charity. Now, I know there's nothing new about this, but I wanted to share their published cost structure which I found wonderfully amusing:
- Rock song on current playlist: $50
- Rock song not on current playlist: $100
- Non-rock song (outside of station format): $250
- Song by a local band: $500
- Song by a local band along with a 1 minute interview with the band: $750
- "Stairway to Heaven" & "Freebird" played back to back: $1000
