Telecommunications Act of 1996
(A) in a radio market with 45 or more commercial radio stations, a party may own, operate, or control up to 8 commercial radio stations, not more than 5 of which are in the same service (AM or FM) [and must play Adele’s “Rolling in the Deep” on every single one of them 10-15 times a day.]
Ok, I can’t prove that. I don’t hate the song, just…enough already.
In Oklahoma the joke was that at any hour of the day you could find Led Zeppelin on the radio. I believe this is still true.
But! I worked at a music/video/etc “superstore” for a while and we would get radio playlists. I remember when “Ants Marching” and “You Oughta Know” were driving me mad I looked and they each clocked in at 47 plays a week, or every three and a half hours on average, also known as morning commute, lunch, evening commute, and times I didn’t have the radio on.
