RADIO ONLINE | , , | :am CT

Proponents of proposed legislation that would levy royalties for local airplay have previously asserted that radio airplay is less important in a world of social media networks like Facebook and MySpace. But on Monday, Whitney Houston began using Facebook to promote her upcoming single to radio, by asking listeners to call in requests.

As of this writing, the top posting on her Facebook 'wall' read: "Whitney's new single 'Million Dollar Bill' hits radio in the U.S. today! Call your local station and request Whitney's new song!"
