This is why Payola is actually legal by Commander Tansin A. Darcos 01/21/2014, 5:08pm PST It's part of the same thing. It is perfectly legal for a disk jockey to take money to play a song, if, before they play the song, he tells the audience that the record company paid them to do so. It's perfectly legal for a radio station DJ to take payola to play a song as long as they announce over the air that they have done so. Failure to announce that you took money to play the song makes it illegal.
