But at the same time they gain MORE listeners who prefer underground to mainstream. It goes both ways, but I get yur point, tho. It’s about the money and advertising at the end of the day.

Very simple. Every time radio plays an ‘underground’ artist they LOSE money. If listeners don’t know what they listening to.. some begin to change the channel which results in lower rating which equals lower advertisement dollars by sponsors to support their station. Once again… corporations are killing a culture. smh
