This kind of actually happened by Commander Tansin A. Darcos 01/25/2014, 10:00am PST
On a radio station I was listening to once, I nearly choked, because there were two disk jockeys on, and one of them says "Here's this great song we want to play for you, it's brand new and we took payola to play it." The other one chimes in with "yeah, we took big money payola to play it." And they just said it like they were reporting there was a car crash on the beltway.

The thing is, no disk jockey would ever really say that, it was so shocking because they usually won't even use that word on the air. You'll actually hear "fuck" on the air more often than you'll ever hear the word "payola".

But had they actually done so, they would have been in complete compliance with the law.
