Different radio stations with the same music

In what way has deregulation changed the radio and the recording industry?

Deregulation has changed the radio and recording industry because one company can own multiple other companies without the public knowing. Radio stations can feature guest singers that they actually employ in another section of the company. Why would a radio company pay to feature someone when they could have someone they already pay? This is also advertising for the singers that they feature on that radio show. When people hear them talk they feel that they are getting to know them, and like them better.

Deregulation also eliminates small radio stations and recording companies as well; all of the small companies are bought up. Small radio and recording studios assure variety. With deregulation there is no variety, you hear the same songs by the same artists on two different radio stations that are owned by the same company. I would rather have different radio stations with different songs and different types of music, but we see that going away with deregulation.
