Someone enlighten me: Is this not a form of payola/plugola?

Maybe Journal Broadcast Group can get exclusivity on Winger's upcoming single!

They can't because it would conflict with there Warrant contract.

Um, if it's on Clear Channel, it's not exactly exclusive.

I suspect the good folks at Z-92 dropped a deuce when they heard this. Doesn't Z-92 play at least 5 AC/DC songs every hour?

Z-92 is the 70% Rock Station since Tedd & Taylor hog the airways in the AM and their late night replay.

Ny the way Minge, we need more TnT blogs!!!! You're going to lose your backstage pass privileges to the next Z-92 bash with Warrant and Ratt headlining.

This is all we get from a station that bushwacked omaha by sheading its 100,000 watts for a city grade signal. On top of that not using the CC KISS FM format but creating a stale classic rock format that is at best a C+. wow! They proablly could be in the top three with kiss or even a 104.1 the blaze like format.
