If you love radio...

...you really ought to download Eliot Spitzer's Entercom complaint, and particularly the file of exhibits he's submitted. It contains apparent photocopies of emails sent by Entercom employees, working on the company's alleged pay-for-play program (Get them here). These are tantalizing bites of corporate radio life, in familiar, frequently emotional voices. I find one email particularly affecting--from a conflicted, frustrated PD's helper to the president of his company:

these management keep firing my friends like Amanda today i want to work for another entercom station not z-104 Don is takeing record company money and makesme help him he will fire me if i do tell you this

The president forwarded the email to his corporate PD, who passed it on to the station manager. I don't know what happened to the jock.

I don't know if the courts will decide that pay-for-play, when practiced as a revenue source by a licensee rather than secret graft by crooked employees, is legal. I can say this with certainty--either way, it's rot.
