The rules haven't changed. It is just that the FCC, when the Bush administration took over, made it clear in numerous statements that they would no longer apply any oversight to the radio industry (unless the content was offensive to the religious right, in which case they would act). The laws are still on the books, but the people who are supposed to be the watchdogs have said there are no rules.
Not just monopolies, not just anti-competitive practices, but even such things as the rules that require advertisements to be at approximately the same volume as the content on either side. There ain't no one minding the store, they are too busy helping big radio load up their cars.
