Music: HoustonChronicle.com — Songs played and played and played — as ads: I didn’t real­ize that one could “believe in a song”. Sounds silly. “In the lat­est twist, it’s the radio sta­tions them­selves that have been reach­ing out to the labels, offer­ing to play songs in the form of ads, often in the early morn­ing hours when there tends to be an excess inven­tory of air­time. The prac­tice is legal as long as the sta­tion makes an on-air dis­clo­sure of the label’s spon­sor­ship — typ­i­cally with an intro­duc­tion such as ‘And now, Avril Lavigne’s Don’t Tell Me, pre­sented by Arista Records.’”
