Having an industry exec and radio programmers in the mix just says to me that curation will be based on the same philosophies that existed in those tired old industries that are failing (radio and major record labels). They will figure out best how to use curation to promote the artists they represent and hope to re-establish the importance of artists being on those major labels. That will not make for a service that most users will appreciate. Otherwise, I don't see a whole lot of value in what music execs and radio programmers can bring, and are probably a detriment to providing a good user experience.
