I'll give it a listen - from what he was saying when I heard it mentioned, it'll be him picking the music and not an algorithm, so it'll already be 90%R better than weekday daytime music! Though there is presumably a high risk of Dermot Kennedy and 'Giants'...

Chuck Noland wrote: » That’s not how it works. Songs are Categorised into folders. The playlist software then chooses songs from each folder randomly and within the restrictions on that folder say For example High rotation (top 10). songs not to be repeated for 2-3 hours Medium rotation (recent hits). songs not to be repeated in a day Irish. Songs not to be repeated in say 6 hours The playlist is then built in folder format on the advise of well paid external music research company’s normally and an example of this would be News High rotation Add High rotation Medium rotation Add High rotation Irish High rotation Add News This is obviously a very very basic example and things like links, features, competitions all need to be factored in. Add in slots then for music to tie into cheese and crackers and the “text in too choose” features, but I think you get the jist. As new songs hit the charts and “scores well” with music research company’s they get added into the high rotation folder. As songs fall in the charts they move into the medium rotation and so on. Again this is very basic but the majority of music radio from 6am - 6pm is done is this fashion to ensure the stations “sound” is kept to. Very few Radio Presenters during those hours actually get to choose what they put out on the air but part of the “magic of radio” is leading people to believe they do.
