Radio isn't meant to be a medium to play everything. It's a business. It's meant to appeal to a given audience... attract that listener, get ratings among that demo, sell advertising to businesses that want that demo, profit.
It's no different from any other business... some people just think it should be. For some reason radio is suppossed to be above other kinds of business that exisits to make money to some people. I'm not sure why that is. Radio was never that. Nor was tv or print. We find it quite amusing.
That said most people I know in radio got into it because they love music... and hardly any of them listen to the stuff on the radio on their own time.
