2. Big corporations.

Taking over not just the radio stations, but the labels and distribution. It's similar to McDonald's buying out every gourmet restaurant.

8. Hell, radio killed the video star!

I mean, when does MTV and VH1 actually show music videos anymore?

Looking at the MTV listings for tomorrow:

8-9am "Spring Break Presents Big 10"
9-12pm "Next" marathon
12-1pm "My Super Sweet 16"
1-1:30pm "The Hills"
1:30-2pm "Dancelife"
2-2:30pm "Maui Fever"
2:30-3:30pm "Total Request Live"
3:30-4pm "Dancelife"
4-4:30pm "Engaged and Underage"
4:30-5pm "Next"
5-5:30pm "Exposed"
5:30-6pm "Maui Fever"
6-7pm "Exposed"
7-7:30pm "The Hills"
7:30-8:30pm "My Super Sweet 16"

and so on and so on. I don't start seeing "Videos" until way into the early AM.

If I turn on 93X I get rock 24/7.

Music videos killed themselves when the stations they played on decided that "The Real World" and "Road Rules" were more important than artists and their work.
