I'm only guessing, of course, but if I were a record company I would hate that I had to convince a single source (MTV) to play my music where in the past I had many radio stations (some in the same market) I could work with.
My use of the past tense only indicates my sense that "the times they are a changin'" and that with independant "broadcasting" (read: podcasting) even MTV will start to lose its grip.
"You guys all have Microsoft to thanks for the advancement of the internet on the masses and if you think anything else you are crazy and blind."
You're kidding right? How did MS do that exactly? Perhaps I'm crazy and blind.

I think the record companies feel they are beholden to MTV since for many years a hit required heavy MTV play. No MTV, no hit.
Isn't that because the crappy ones have all fallen down so, of course, only the good ones remain?
