But if I were still programming, I'd rather hire hire either fellow
oldtimers or jocks who have been in the market for several years, then
allow them as much playlist discretion as they can handle. Nothing
against young gypsies -- i was one myself, back in the day -- but nothing
beats having real live people who know both the music and the local
audience.

But, with rare exceptions, "DJ choice" programming ended with the
progressive stations of the late 60's. Except for, perhaps, KPIG, anyone
doing it is also losing in the ratings.
