Corporate Radio Sucks
Great, the only problem is that they all want to bring the same tired corporate, clear channel filtered garbage to our phones.
Now why would i pay extra to hear on my phone the same noise i don't want to hear for free on my car radio?
For this to work you need variety and unique content otherwise it will fail. The industry just does not get that and they continue to make contracts with the major labels and distribution apartus to put britney on our phones. No thanks.
