MSNBC’s Carolyn Brown examines that question in a recent commentary. Because you get what you measure, the current audience measurement systems used at mainstream radio force programmers to over-spin proven SALES hits, rather than spend any effort on breaking new acts.

All the more reason not to focus on radio airplay as a way to grow your audience.
