WHY IS MY SONG NOT PLAYING ON THE RADIO - A new way of looking at radio airplay - STUDIO TALK 44
Radio airplay and radio playlisting has been one of the most frustrating things for South African artists. Music makers feel that they've produced a great song so why are radio stations rejecting it? Why won't radio play my song. Why are radio stations not answering emails and calls? Which leads to questions like, "What will it take to get my song on radio?" or "How can I get my song on radio?" or "How can I get my song on high rotation on radio?" Well in this episode of Studio Talk, I refer to a mindset change that South African music makers need to undergo in order to understand how radio playlisting works in this day and age.
This is the audio excerpt from Studio Talk Vlog Episode 44 currently on YouTube.

SAMRO Membership Rules Roundtable Review

The Perfect Moment Doesn’t Exist
STOP PLAYING THE BLAME GAME AS MUSIC MAKERS - Extract from Studio Talk Vlog No32
In the conclusion, I plead with music makers to look at the situation differently. Whether there is a 25% quota or 100% quota, what is more important is that we lose the sense of entitlement we all have when it comes to SA music.
I urge you to listen with an open mind as well.
