Unfortunately with radio that isn't one of the choices. Small artists/small labels just have to accept that they don't get paid by the middlemen when their music is played on radio.

Which I support. I also buy music direct from artists for the same reasons. I'm also buying magazine subscriptions online where I can, and pushing the editors to take on a better business model, but for now mostly they are in "try something simple to see if it works" mode rather than adding too much overhead.
