every city has 13 million people. have you ever heard of play lists?
that means someone else chooses what you are listening to. most
stations use play lists.

About 99.9% of the radio stations in the Western Hemisphere have
"playlists." All that means is that the person in charge of programming has
determined what songs can be played, how often and such.

The idea that there are musicologist-type DJs rummaging through thousands of
records is a myth, and in the few cases such exists or has existed, most
have failed.

Stations had playlists in the 30's, just as they had lists of the
commercials they had to run, called a log.

nice try, in free market america, you have tons of choices, that are
almost all the same.

And that, in radio, is quite untrue.
