Payola probe hits Southern California disc jockeys
Federal hearings in Los Angeles target payola involving at least 50 disc jockeys, station managers, and executives across Los Angeles and surrounding counties. FCC investigators seek names and evidence in a multi-front probe that could cost violators up to 10000 dollars per offense and a year in prison. Promoters Huskey and Grant testified as civil suit details surface, naming 25 defendants across five labels and multiple radio outlets. A related suit seeks 230000 dollars in damages for alleged improper gifts in exchange for airplay.
