This is going back to the 1960's maybe into the 50's?

Ps I still think it goes on these days,hidden behind a cloak of bent legality.Mad
PPS There are still many links on Google for this Keyword some quite recent Roll Eyes

This was known as Payola. It was fairly widespread here in the US, with Alan Freed being one of the most notale radio disk jockeys to be brought down.

Mostly a 50's thing, brought to a head in the late 50's, It was pretty much over by the 60's. You decide if it doesn't exist today.
