NEW BROADCAST RULES WILL BAN SPECIAL FEATURED ARTIST PROGRAMS
I just got this new directive from the CPB (Corporation for Public Broadcasting) in the USA that applies to all public radio stations. Here's an excerpt:
"In any three (3) hour period you can transmit up to three (3) different selections of sound recordings from any one CD, but you can transmit no more than two (2) consecutively. Additionally, in any three (3) hour period you can transmit up to four (4) different selections by the same featured artist, or up to four (4) different selections of sound recordings from any set or compilation of CD's, but you can transmit no more than three (3) consecutively.”
So no more dedicating of programs to artists when they die or honouring birthdays. No more Bob Marley or Billie Holliday specials. Want to talk to some real wankers? Look up the RIAA in the phone book and give them a call.
