That's the reason they don't announce what song they're playing for sometimes upward of an hour? The only thing that's accomplishing is insuring that the artist rarely gets credit and the label loses sales. For the record, the PBS DJs in our area rarely talk over the beginning or end of the music they're playing unless it's to cut into the news. All the DJs at commercial stations do, as well as overlap the ends and beginnings of songs in the sets, and I understand that it's to prevent recording, but this doesn't happen at the PBS stations. All they're accomplishing is lost revenue for the musicians.
