As I said, fortunate. But for the listeners...

The listeners program the music, not the program directors.



No, a sample of the listeners influence music programming decisions.

But the decisions are made by Consultants and Program Directors.


Not really. Generally, a very large assortment of music is scored by
listeners, and the programmers simply implement the data based on ranking.
The only decisions are on rotations, based on how high the songs scores...
but the individual songs are listener selected.

Right now I am watching a test for a CHR that plays about 120 songs, but we
are checking over 600 tunes against our heavier listeners.




I'm familiar with music testing, remember?

But if you're telling me your entire audience is involved in the
process, I"m going to have to challenge that assertion.
