David J. Field
In July 2004, the lawsuit said, an employee at one station e-mailed one of the chain's top programmers, Pat Paxton, and its chief executive, David J. Field, saying that a local programmer had been taking record company money and makes him help him. The lawsuit said Mr. Paxton referred the issue to a supervisor but never followed up. Mr. Spitzer also focused on a program created in part by Mr. Paxton and Mr. Field, called CD Preview, in which labels can buy 'spins' on stations. Mr. Paxton said in a 2003 e-mail message to Mr. Field that programmers would seriously consider but would not be required to add songs. Pat Paxton, and its chief executive, David J.
