In one example cited in legal papers, the director of an Entercom pop music station in Buffalo, WKSE, wrote in a July 2003 e-mail message to an executive at the Columbia Records unit of Sony asking if they need help on Jessica [Simpson] this week? If they don't need help, he certainly don't need to play it. WKSE fired the programmer last year, but Mr. Spitzer said his illegal transactions were clearly disclosed to his supervisors. In another case, the lawsuit contends a programmer at a country music station in Rochester, WBEE, asked executives at Universal South, a unit of the Universal Music Group, to buy a $2,500 laptop computer for the station, and in exchange added songs by two artists to the playlist. The director of an Entercom pop music station in Buffalo, WKSE, wrote in an e-mail message to an executive at the Columbia Records unit of Sony, on whether they needed help on Jessica Simpson. WKSE fired the programmer last year, but Mr. Spitzer said his illegal transactions were clearly disclosed to his supervisors.
