Corporate labels have done an amazing job of locking up the market. I don't know why they so wanted to do that, other than to control trends, which is stupid because new trends are what makes billionaires out of label execs.
The fastest growing music format right now is triple A, both in public and commercial radio. We serve a medium size city and play about 30 hours of triple A a week, about 50% independent artists/50% big labels.
