According to a Salon.com article,
"Generally, the indies pay between $100,000 and $400,000 per station,
depending on the size of the market. Once that deal is signed, the indie
sends out weekly invoices to record companies for every song added to that
station's playlist. "
"Roughly $800 per song in middle-size markets and $1,000 and more in larger
markets, up to about $5,000 per song for the biggest stations in the biggest
markets. "
They also go on to say:
"Jeff McClusky & Associates, (is) the nation's largest independent promotion
firm"
