The C.R. Ecker Band

The C.R. Ecker Band, since its inception in 2011, has earned twenty major awards for its distinct sound, created by songwriter Charles Ecker and supported by producers Michael Stanton in Los Angeles and Stacy Hogan in Nashville.

At a time when so much in country sounds the same, this band is making its moves to chart new ground with songs like "Green Eyes," "A Lotta' Love," "My White Collar" and "I Believe in You," all aimed at getting people to develop a renewed interest in country music.

It has earned the distinction of being named to the Starliner's Europe Hall of Fame, one of the first ten inductees into the Renegade Radio Nashville "New Faces of Country" and recipient of "Song of the Year" awards at Hollywood Music in Media and L.A. Music Awards, the latter two consider precursers to Grammy attention.

Additionally, it was named "Country Band of the Year" at Independent Music Network and received the Silver Award for band of the year at Independent Country Music Association.

Why Radio Plays Same 20 Songs: The Sad Truth Of Media Consolidation [INFOGRAPHIC]

If you’ve ever tuned into terrestrial radio in your car, at home or at the office, then you’re well aware that commercial radio stations tend to play the same songs in rotation over and over again. Is it because these songs are so hot that people are just demanding stations play them? Hardly. The sad truth of the matter is that only six companies control 90% of the media: GE, Newscorp, Disney, Viacom, and Time Warner (compared to 1983 when roughly 50 companies owned the media).

Consolidation of media has lead to far less diversity in programming and ownership, with far fewer voices being heard. Media consolidation has heavily affected the balance and diversity of today's music on terrestrial radio. This is great news if you’re Drake, Lil Wayne, Lady Gaga and the like, but not so great if you’re just about anybody else.

The below infographic, first presented by Frugal Dad, displays exactly what the consolidation of our media looks like:
