Ah, so that's why radio ads and billboards are free.
No, that right, they're not, because marketing costs.
You have to give something to receive marketing. You give someone money and they tell everyone how great you are. That is marketing. If this person has a legal obligation to be impartial, and they betray that obligation, it is on their heads. All you have done is engaged in marketing

Radio stations and billboards are third parties who are not involved in the trade between you and the consumer, unlike a bribe.

It's possible to bribe indirectly if the third party is involved in the trade or connected to one of the first two parties somehow, but that, again, is illegal.

Anon who actually works in marketing here...

Ethical marketing involves transparency. If you were compensated for a review, you have an obligation to state that fact so that readers will be aware that your review is not unbiased.

Also, things like radio ads and billboards are in a completely different category. There is an expectation that money will be involved there - you are paying the company for their space and time.
