Oh and although we will agree to disagree on the music policy - I am right (whether the policy has been honestly and generally applied in the pastmay be another matter)
Each Wednesday morning the triplej djs and music staff listen to the new releases that come in, and decide which ones get put on the playlist, and how high the rotation should be. If there's a song which we reckon is really good it'll get played across the week more often. source
I think that paragraph pertains to the entire playlist selection process - no mention of record company money or managerial pressure there though!
Even on Australia's 'indie' radio station TripleJ, the DJs themselves get the option to play 3 tracks of their choice in a 3 hour shift. The rest is dictated to them by managament, which in turn is dictated by how much the labels are willing to pay the station. Payola is well and truly still alive.
That is a rather bold (and i'm guessing unsubstantiated) claim.
Firstly you will find that music is choosen by the triple j music director, not management. More on the music selection process can be found here.
If inappropriate behaviour was being exhibited in this area it would be against abc
editorial policies (triple j is part of this government funded body).
