Thread Name: Is Radio a viable venue?
Subject: Is Radio a viable venue?
In reading through the obit for the late great Bill Carlisle my eye was caught by the phrase that he had "played the live-radio circuit".
That was some time ago. In this day and age what are the ins and outs of playing live radio? I know some Mudcatters host their own show, but are there any stations that offer an open mic of the airwaves? Or, alternatively, sponsor a program for groups - like Martha White Flour did for Flatt & Scruggs, or Light Crust Dough for the early Bob Wills?
