Not even the rock establishment traditionalists can bring the Beatles enough radio airplay.
That's because in this 2004 survey of songs with the most airplay on British radio, The Beatles see their highest song at number...NINE. HA HA HA HA! Even with the conspiracy brewing, the rock establishment traditionalists infiltrating radio stations (and many pirate stations are not allowed to play in the UK; I've heard things about them setting up on boats and on top of apartment buildings with microwave transmitters) (what I'm saying is that the radio is so bad that people make pirate stations), The Beatles are still beat by eight others.

If they accounted for pirate radio (where real music-lovers reside) surely they wouldn't even be in the top ten, with Oasis nudging them out like a croquet ball, out of the top ten.

Oh, here is the link if you wanted to see it: http://www.classicbands.com/mostplayed.html

Oh, and there's no way that The Beatles did better than The Classics IV anyways so the whole poll is rigged.

Score one for Oasis.
