KAOS Music Charts Studio Tour Music dept.
Small companies work on very little capital.
The key to the business is distribution. With a large distribution network, a manufacturer can afford to assign 10,000 copies of a CD for free distribution to radio stations. The pervasive market reach of the major distributors gives them the ability to control hundreds of smaller record companies, either through distribution alone, or through partial or full ownership. The music played on KAOS is not heard anywhere else in the area - in some cases nowhere else in the country. KAOS has maintained this music policy since 1978, and our policy has served as a model of other non-commercial radio stations.
