Regardless of genre or geographical location, most radio station programming follows the same format. Within that format, there are usually a core 10-15 current songs (if that), that are in daily rotation. The urban format will include mix shows that often play songs that are outside of the "core" songs, usually re-currents and older classics.
ItzYourzRadio, a 24/7 Urban Contemporary internet radio station, has stepped outside of the box and have included many re-currents and older, classic songs within the regular rotation. Giving the station a fresh and much broader sound. There are STILL a core group of current songs. They are included in the "Hot20" segment, which airs twice a day.
ItzYourzRadio also has a daily hour dedicated to Independent (Indie) Artists. Many artists who are not signed to or distributed through a major label find it very hard to break their songs via radio.
ItzYourzRadio is a weekly reporter of record spins to DRT (Digital Radio Tracker) and Spin Tracking. The tracking of spins can enable artists to become charted and become nationally and globally recognized.
ItzYourzRadio is also certified with Sound Exchange, ASCAP and BMI. Artists who are certified with them could receive monthly royalties. Of course, that's based on the number of received airplay from radio stations. If eligible, royalty checks will be received directly from Sound Exchange, ASCAP or BMI.

HOW PAYOLA CHANGED THE GAME
There was a time when DJs had the freedom to "break" new music, but because of Payola, those days are long gone. The Program and Music Directors man what songs are to enter into rotation. In many instances, especially in the large markets, DJs received large amounts of "under the table" payments by local and even national artists to get their music played on the radio. Station owners and programmers did not adhere to the large amounts of money DJs received, while in many cases, the owners and programmers received no compensation for the airplay of that music.
Now, independent promoters pay the station directly to get music played. In most cases, it is the larger record labels that can afford to pay the big bucks, as well as barter other promotional deals to get their artists airplay. That is a huge reason why you hear the same 10-15 songs in daily rotation. That "pay for play" price tag often eliminates the indie artists who don't have the long pockets of the corporate major labels. ItzYourzRadio is here to do our part to help level the playing field!!
