Why don't any radio stations play Elvis' songs?

He's never on the radio...no on oldies stations or classic rock stations. Why is that?

Update:

They don't play him on the radio. It's not that I'm a fan at all, but there are people out there who are die hard Elvis fans, enough to get him on the radio. They don't play him on FM radio, on classic rock or oldies stations....

I was wondering if it had to do with licensing or something of the sort.

    Sirius Satelite Radio has a station that plays only Elvis.

  • It isn't played because the only people that actually like listening to Elvis are like 80 years old and it doesn't matter if they like him or not because they are all either deaf or have hearing aids that they keep forgeting to wear.

    Because you need to get Satellite raido and tune into all Elvis, all the time.

    Raido doesn't cater to fads and specific artists anymore. It is generic pop and easy access chart toppers. Satellite raido will give you what you want because you pay for it!
