Since we don't know the value of the deal, I don't know how hard it was to pull off. But I agree with you it's good for FM for the publicity, if nothing else.
Since they have a deal in place, I just hope it means that they already have a stream for their new music -- which will increase the chance that we get new music.
For Clear Channel it would have meant more if some artist whose music the world is still clamoring to hear signed with them. And I really don't think FM is going to cause other artists to do it. I think the Eagles would have had more impact on other artists than FM would at this point.
I wish they would just let the streaming services pay what the terrestial radio stations were paying to broadcast the songs all of those years and drop the mentality that Pandora is ripping them off somehow. It's like an old lady smacking the boy scout that tries to help her across the street.
