I don't know why all through this I was reminded and compared this to the CFL, but it did.

While major radio stations eschewed the Canada-centric publication, RPM caught on with many of the smaller-reach stations.
“Those stations are what saved RPM. They started to believe,” says Klees. “The major stations had the money to hire these experts who would tell them what to play.
