How do Radio Stations play songs? Do they have the license for every song?

Are some songs cheaper?? Do you just buy a huge license and some company distributes all that money?

Answer 1

it’s funny how radio stations DO have a catalogue of MANY THOUSANDS of songs yet you still hear the same songs every day even if they play older music. 93.3 in Philadelphia right now is playing their whole catalogue A-Z and there are so many songs that I have never heard them play, it gets me thinking “if you have this many songs, why do you only play the same stuff every day?@
