JakeBox gets UK label’s songs played on radio
Independent UK record label Horus Music got a boom in airtime for their songs after starting to send out radio promos in JakeBoxes. Label manager Nick Dunn says it’s remarkable how much their songs suddenly were played on the radio. JakeBox does not take credit for the songs being played, but to get the chance to be played, the radio station DJs must get an impulse to put that particular disc in the player (out of all the discs they get on a daily basis). And this impulse is what JakeBox certainly does deliver.
