    iHeartMedia plays artists that they own, either record contract or catalogue.

    When I lived in the UK my local gym always had the same shitty radio station on and I was like “Why do they keep playing these artists? I almost never hear them on BBC” and it turned out to be because the owners of the radio station also owned those artists. Vertical integration baby!
