Whats an iPLayer? Sounds like something from Apple? And the employee who, because I was the designated Chief Operator, that gave me the final authority to control what was aired. There was quite the boardroom discussion about that, repeated at length from the rules & regs everytime one of our sales people figured they had found a way to do a payola related thing without calling it Payola. I had fun quoting bible and verse to the sales dept. Particularly the per instance fine the commission can levy. You can buy a new mid-priced car with one days violation you don't have to pay.
