ALBANY, N.Y. - New York Attorney General Eliot Spitzer is examining whether radio is engaged in a new form of pay for play reminiscent of the payola scandals in the 1950s, a record company confirmed Friday.

The London-based EMI Group record label said it and other companies in the music and broadcast industries have been queried by Spitzer about the promotion of their recordings on radio stations.
"We are cooperating fully," EMI said in statement. "EMI has a long-standing, strict written policy prohibiting unlawful radio promotion practices, and that policy was reaffirmed internally earlier this year. EMI has no reason to believe that there will be any material financial impact on the company."
