Seems to be anti-profitable not to promote a new product. What was 
the business model of these labels who banned airplay?

That seems quite likely for some artists in some fields, but there 
are classical music labels which explicitly prohibit broadcast - or 
did in the LP era.
My original reaction to this is that it was a non-USA thing. With CBC 
the artist gets paid every time a selection is broadcast -- at least 
that is my understanding of how it was a few years ago.
I recall seeing many albums from the UK "not cleared for radio 
airplay" or something like that.
