As Variety puts it, "The iconic Los Angeles station is on life support — and it has nothing to do with coronavirus." Then go on to write: "KROQ was changing and leading the charge was new brand manager Mike Kaplan — who not-so-coincidentally had been nicknamed “Mike the Show Killer” by jocks at his former station, the aforementioned Alt 98.7. According to sources, Kaplan ordered “Circles” be added to the playlist immediately and mandated that all talent no longer refer to the station as “K-Rock” but rather use its call letters — K-R-O-Q — almost exclusively. The very sound of the word “rock” purportedly offended Kaplan, who not only felt it antiquated, but borderline toxic. “Rock equals death,” says a station insider of management’s view."

TikTok looks set to be the biggest disrupter to the music cycle in years, with radio programmers across the country sitting up and taking notice. The platform has seen incredible growth over the past year and now boasts over 800 million active users worldwide.

Last October, Rogan said: “They’re scrambling for control. They want to control the way people communicate. And they also want to make a profit. See part of this is they’re incentivizing people to do shows that they can profit off of. So if you have a show that has no bad language, if you have a show that has no controversial topics, those shows are more appealing to advertisers. So for them, as a business, they’ll look at someone like me and say, ‘Well this is a limited advertisers option’.”  Stop censoring us, Big Tech!

Universal Music Group has joined the other two major record label conglomerates in refuting reports that pay-to-play is rampant in radio. UMG says it has had promotional guidelines in place since 2006 that incorporate federal anti-payola laws and has “devoted significant resources” to implementing and enforcing that policy. “We believe that those statutes help ensure that our music is judged on its own merits,” Senior VP Saheli Datta said in a letter to the Federal Communications Commission. The letter, made public Wednesday, is part of an investigation by FCC Commissioner Michael O’Rielly into allegations of potential violations of pay-to-play rules. His review began last fall after a story was published in Rolling Stone last August, which quoted some broadcasters alleging record promoters were using cash apps and directing money to corporate accounts in exchange for spins.

"Famed shock jock and animal lover Howard Stern went small-game hunting Tuesday, ratcheting up his attacks on the Trump clan by mocking the president’s first-born son as a “genius.” Stern ⁠— who last week characterized the president as a wannabe celebrity who secretly hates his own followers ⁠— sarcastically responded Tuesday to criticism from the president’s namesake. “I can’t argue with him, that kid is such a success,” Stern joked. “He is such a wit, he is such a genius. He would have made a fortune if he wasn’t under his father’s thumb. Game over. You can’t argue with a genius like that.” Trump Jr. compared Stern to Hillary Clinton during a Thursday visit to SiriusXM’s “Jim and Sam Show," where he recalled the president’s 2016 Democratic rival calling the Republican nominee’s followers “deplorables.” Howard Stern mocks the ‘wisdom’ of Donald Trump Jr.: 'You can’t argue with a genius like that’ https://www.nydailynews.com/snyde/ny-howard-stern-donald-trump-jr-genius-20200519-l4ovbi2ehjgl5e72uqmf6nfqku-stor

Lyft, Uber and Airbnb depend on travel, vacations and gatherings, but not so much when most of the world is staying home.. New studies by users are not promising. Studies by CarGurus and the IBM Institute for Business Value that together surveyed roughly 26,000 American adults found that around half have developed a distrust for ride-sharing services like Uber and Lyft. Thirty-nine percent of the former's 722 respondents said they plan to use less or no ride-shares whatsoever from here on out, and more than half of the latter's 25,000-plus respondents said similar. The IBM survey also found that 24 percent will cease using ride share-adjacent services like taxis, even though taxis may be less than a hundredth as germy your average Uber according to a 2019 study.
