6. What effect does Radio
have on the music industry
for the future?
Just as radio stations need a constant supply of new
music to broadcast what audiences enjoy, record
labels need the radio stations to play their albums in
order to sell them. If the radio station plays music
that attracts more listeners, it will be able to sell
advertising time. This way, both the radio station and
the record label benefit.
One thing a label can't do though is pay money to a
radio station for the station to play a particular artist's
songs. That's called "payola," and it's illegal.

7. In the future …
We think in the future music will still be a popular but
it grow and be more accessible to the public. We
think if illegal music downloading is not abolished
then the music industry could be destroyed and the
loss of need for record producers will go down as it
will be easier to create your own music in the
comfort of your own home.
