Okay...I'm convinced that iHeart Radio is a sham. A friend told me that he was listening to "Kurt Fortmeyer Radio" via the iHeart app on his iPhone. I decided to check it out.
I put my name in there. They started out with one of my songs..."Hard Times (Call For Hard Liquor)"...and then they played music that bears little or no resemblance to mine, repeating other artists multiple times in a hour...but never playing another one of my songs. They only used my name to get people to listen, and then played songs that they will get royalties for playing. Everyone I know who has tried to listen to "Kurt Fortmeyer Radio" on iHeart has had the same experience.
Something else similar to this happened to me a couple of years ago. I submitted some songs online for airplay on a station (it was a Clear Channel station...and as it turns out, Clear Channel owns iHeart Radio) and then found out that they weren't putting my songs on the air, but instead they were putting them on their website for people to listen to. Every station in their network suddenly showed up in any Google search of my name...pages and pages of radio stations before anything else that had to do with me. Nobody was hearing my songs, but anybody who was looking for me ended up finding Clear Channel radio stations. Another case of some corporate entity abusing independent artists in order to make a buck. I'm refraining from adding expletives to this post.
