Spitzer Going After Labels for Payola

From today's NYT article:

According to several people involved, investigators in Mr. Spitzer's office have served subpoenas on the four major record corporations - the Universal Music Group, Sony BMG Music Entertainment, the EMI Group and the Warner Music Group - seeking copies of contracts, billing records and other information detailing their ties to independent middlemen who pitch new songs to radio programmers in New York State.

I wonder why he's not going after the broadcasters that accepted the payments...(or maybe he will in due time)...
