Radio is a strange bedfellow. I was in the industry for 15+ years and the politics in stations still confuses me. These two are on mostly stations owned and controlled by iHeartradio (formerly known as Clear Channel). Media today, including radio, is all controlled by big business. The thought of radio being for "the people" went out the window years ago. From experience let me just tell you that EVERYTHING you hear on the radio is fake (contests, requests, opinions). Nothing gets on the air without being what "they" want you to hear.
