Why no duffy,amy,adele,and lily in the south?

Question

Why dont radio stations in the south play more amy winehouse,duffy,adele,and lily allen? I see these artist's albums advertised on tv and when I go to northern states and out west (like ohio and arizona) and hear all these artist on the radio all the time but down here (in ga,alabama ) all they play is either country(A LOT OF COUNTRY), rock or rap. Is it a regional thing or do stations here just not like these artist? Is there not a big demand here to hear from these artist in the south? Im from ga btw

Answer 1

Because there British artists. Maybe some places dont know who they are. We dont play the JB or someone over on the radio stations here (Thank god)  

Answer 2

I honestly don't know I've wondered that myself (in MS here).

I've heard of them all through the web (i.e. Perez Hilton), and/or VH1 (how I heard about Adele and Duffy).

I love them all and I have no idea why they don't get more airplay around here, but I wish they would. About the only thing I've heard a lot of on the radio is Mercy by Duffy, and a few Winehouse songs when she first came on the scene, but at my workplace we have a CD we play (haha retail...we've got to have music) and it has Lily Allen and Duffy on it, besides more well known artist and a few forgotten ones.

Sorry I rambled, I just feel your "pain"/understand your pondering on this one.
