In the mid to late 90s, I was a DJ at a radio station in Vermont that only played independent music (WRUV). During that time, I was amazed at how much crap was sent to the radio station from record labels in the hopes that it would be saturated on the airwaves. The staff must have tossed at least 9 out of 10 CDs that were sent...they were thrown into this plastic bin in the hallway for anyone to come along and swipe. But that's how radio stations normally work...the labels sent the material, the director makes the playlist, and the DJ is nothing more than a voice that can change tracks (in many modern radio stations, they don't even have to know how to do that anymore, as everything's automated nowadays).
