Music radio - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (4319 words) |
 | Satellite radio operates either as on a subscriber model or as an adjunct to a government-run public broadcaster; commercial satellite radio operations as a result generally don't carry commercials or private sponsorships, being subsidized by their subscribers. |
 | Internet radio is a special case -- while many internet radio stations are run as a labor of love by their creators, others are either listener-supported in the manner of public broadcasters or are operated in a manner similar to a commercial broadcaster, selling sponsorships to pay for hosting fees. |
 | Music radio, particularly top 40, has often acted as both a barometer and an arbiter of musical taste, and radio airplay is one of the defining measures of success in the mainstream musical world. |
