 Being a DJ: Blatantly advertising for a band
Is it against most radio station policy for Djs to blatantly advertise for a band, namely if it's there own?

I'd talk to the station manager or their salespeople, airtime costs money.
When Warrant came to a nearby town this summer the promoters paid us for ads and our manager encouraged us to mention it on air, and we gave away some tickets and shit.

Re: Being a DJ: Blatantly advertising for a band
We've done promotions for concerts clear across the country. Garth Brooks did a one night stand in Kansas City, and we gave away a trip to the show, and tickets and all that, and our station is on the West Coast....
On another note, we get encouraged to talk about our favorite bands/songs on the air, gives a more personal feel to the whole thing

Re: Being a DJ: Blatantly advertising for a band
It depends if the DJ is getting paid on the side for the "plugs". It's called plugola or payola and its illegal in the United States.
See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Payola
