Default Tight playlists (was Endangered Classical Format)

Amid this discussion of how broad station playlists are, I was in
a cafe yesterday picking up a sandwich for lunch when I heard the
Eagles' "I Can't Tell You Why." I immediately recognized it as one
of the songs that KYUU (KNBR's FM sister station in San Francisco)
was playing when I worked there in the summer of 1980. I counted
the carts once and figured there were about 400 songs in rotation.
Even in those few months, I heard each of them so many times that
they now jump out at me 30 years later as being "KYUU songs." :-)
