Receios na GB, incentivos nos EUA
A forma como a indústria musical encarou a música na rádio condicionou a forma como esta evoluiu. Muito mais peso nos EUA, mais restringida na Grã Bretanha.
“In the United States, the recording industry always perceived radio to be a useful means of advertising its products, and was reluctant to extract fees; in the UK, record companies made an early assumption that pop-music radio represented competition to record sales while musicians worried about the threat to live performances, and this led to ‘needle-time’ agreements that limited output severely”
