In what could be a sign of a break in country radio’s unified front, the currently forbidden superstaris back on the airwaves on at least one station that had put him on hold, WMYL-FM in Knoxville. The station may have more reason than most to return him to its playlist — Knoxville is Wallen’s hometown — but it does raise the question of how long the country radio industry will continue to speak with one voice in keeping music’s most successful recording artist of the moment off the air.

The WMYL station owner, Ron Meredith, issued a statement when the poll went online that indicated keeping Wallen off the air constituted, to him, being “in the censorship business.” There seems to have been a crack in the solidarity of major DSPs, too, who had acted against Wallen in the wake of the scandal. He was removed at the time from the front pages and playlists of virtually all on-demand streaming service, if not from being searchable.Digital Music News reported
