Why I hate broadcast radio

There's little or no variety.

I've been keeping track of the songs played on some of the local radio stations here in the Denver area. After tracking just the songs played from 9am to 5pm Monday through Friday, I've determined just how limited their playlists really are.

Kosi 101.1 (Soft Adult Contemporary) June 2 to June 10
Songs rarely repeated between 9am and 5pm
Entire playlist = 285 songs
(about 19.5 hours of original music during 56 hours of broadcast time)

Alice 105.9 (Hot Adult Contemporary) June 5 to June 10
Frequent repeats between 9am and 5pm
(some songs repeated 3 times within the 8 hour period)
Entire playlist = 118 songs
(about 8 hours of original music during 32 hours of broadcast time)

KIMN 100.3 (Adult Contemporary) June 5 to June 10
Occasional repeats between 9am and 5pm
Entire playlist = 224 songs
(about 15 1/3 hours of original music during 32 hours of broadcast time)

Counting individual songs played between these stations, there's a total of 494 songs. I can fit all that on my mp3 player.

I'll keep tracking, and maybe add some more stations, and update my findings here.
