There was no "banning." It was the CHOICE of radio stations to play what they wished, and what their customers wanted. "Banning" would require that it was made ILLEGAL to play their music.
They did something stupid, and paid a price in business for it, tough crap. It should be obvious. It's not like NYC is full of country music fans. I could start a Christian band (easy, as I'm no musician, and such music sucks). Then I stand up in front of some audience and say that I think jesus is fake. How would that do for my air time on Christian stations?
Same thing. It was the market speaking, not a "ban."
