  It's a symbiotic relationship. They need each other.

  Jessie J would never get played anywhere as "Capital plays it" when she makes a hit, but "Kiss is MY station" is her declaration at the same time!

  When such & such are paid to say "X is my station..." why don't rival stations blacklist the artists that participate in pretending to have a favourite radio station ?

  
  For a radio station to blacklist a popular artist would be suicide as far as audience is concerned. You're telling all of their fans that you won't hear your favourite aftist on this station so you should turn off.

  Like Capital did with One Direction a few years ago.

  I remember Steve Power had one of those from Kim Wilde on the Hot FM stations back in the day:
  
  "Hi.. this is Kim Wilde. Whenever I'm in town, I never miss Steve Power. I never listen.. and I never miss him"
  
  Lovely send-up of the whole idea

  Which was a publicity stunt and didn't last very long from what I remember. Both parties gained a lot from it.

  What happened there? I don't remember that. Was it Capital London or the whole network ?

  They thanked Radio 1 for an award that Capital sponsored
  
  I did think that when Olly Said this morning that kiss was "his station"
