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.

A well designed sample very accurately represents all a staiton's
listeners... the test is the ability to replicate over and over with the
same results, which is easily achievable.
