We've had our own problems on whether to accept underwriting from local (as in
Mom and Pop, not KFC Hawaii) businesses. It seems all the in-fighting here, at
one point, got as high as to warrant lawsuits at one point.

Well, I was involved in college radio for several years, and it can be
just as corrupt. Record companies offer music directors and station
members backstage passes, special promotional items, autrographs, interviews
that they wouldn't otherwise have access to, and so on, in order to play
records
Our music director never caved in to that crap, and furthermore, he would
sell the major label promos that we would never play, and use the money to
buy indie stuff that we would play (but the labels couldn't afford to send
us promos). But not all college radio personnel have such high standards.
