That happens all the time. Stations host TONS of shows for bands that they never play, they do it simply to promote the station. I work in the radio industry and believe me, that kind of thing happens a lot. Jocks don't decide what to play in the corporate industry, program directors (who have lucrative deals with music industry promoters) pick the playlists, and the modern rock 'alternative' format doesn't usually consist of any decent music because of this. Leaving feedback generally doesn't change too much unfortunately, these things are all upper management decisions, trust me... they don't care. And that's why corporate radio sucks.
