The story of music radio makes an interesting post. It is strange that we in the U.K were given "permission" to have commercial television but commercial radio was not allowed. If it had been so at that time, probably better coverage of music would have been allowed. I read once that the BBC did not understand public demand for pop music and admitted that they did not know how to organize it. Not enough effort was made to inaugurate these changes at the time, and they still struggle to organize their music stations in the public interest.
