Now, here's an interesting sort of question.

A friend of mine programs a "Music Of Your Life" type station, and my problem
is that although I really love jazz standards and big band music, I find it
almost unlistenable because the playlist is so short.

I like Sinatra too, but Sinatra recorded hundreds of great songs. Consequently
there is no reason to play "My Way" over and over a dozen times a day and
neglect almost everything else.

Likewise you will never, ever turn on this station and hear the Kenton band,
Tito Puente (or any of the other latin bands that were topping the charts in
the thirties and forties), or for that matter any of the newer generation of
performers.

So, I am sad to hear these stations basically failing in the same way that
oldies stations, classic rock stations, and really just about every radio
format today is failing the listener. Is this really what the listener wants?
