Ok. Let's look at that.

How deep do you go on the list? You get one hundred songs rated, how
deep do you go? How do you tier them?

How do you rotate them. With what do you mix them? How old do you go?
What's your current/gold ratio? How many categories of Recurrent do you
have? Do you play the top 10 straight up, or do you break it up into top
10 and top 5 like WLS did in the 70's. With different rotational periods
for every category.

Who decides what songs are on the survey list? That decision would
ultimately have more impact on the songs that get played than the
influence of the station PD's.

Which is precisely my point. The 'listeners choose the playlist'.. from a
prepared playlist. It all goes back to the stations telling the listeners
what they will like. That they let them choose a few from that limited
selection only reduces everyone else's choices even further.
