Most stations have payola. They have a middle man just in case the feds are watching. They meet somewhere in the city (new york). The middle takes the cash to the station programmer. Most of the time the owners of the station don't even know about it
because the programmer and sometimes their assistant keep that money. Also a big artist will pay the programmers to blackball new artist not to be played. It's a very dirty business.
