In the Music Industry. How does music go from songwriter to the radio?

Question

I am curious about the detailed steps, and particularly who is involved in creating and getting a song on the radio? For instance, I know it sometimes starts with the song writer, somehow makes it into the studio where other musicians might be hired to play tracks and engineer mixes down... and somehow it gets on the radio.
