Less than 450 on KHHT. That's bad. They can upgrade to 900 or 1000 rhythmic oldies songs and it would be MUCH better.
Maybe better for you, but not for their listeners.

I hate major market radio.
Bitching about it has already been proven multiple times to not change anything. All it does is prove that you have learned nothing from previous discussions.
Go ahead and "report" me to Boz if you want. I am in too much pain and discomfort to respond further to this nonsense anyway.

Yeah they should. This radio suppression is unbelievable these days.
"Hotel California" is overplayed.....period!
We are right.
The residents of LA don't even know what they are missing on CH radio, because of the suppression KRTH provides. Too bad.
On the other board, one of the posters suggested that this sort of content comes from "Oldies Trolls". I concur.
No, you are not. This is forum is about radio stations and radio in general. So any discussion of music and songs is in that context. The programming ideas you suggest, to the best of my knowledge, never, ever work.
If they played it 50 times a week, and it still tested in the top quintile, it would not be overplayed. "Played out" conditions occur when a song that has scored at a certain level starts declining in test scores. Obviously, that is not the case with "Hotel" and, ergo, you are wrong.
I'm not wrong, because regular listeners (not trolls) complain about it as well. There's a great and beautiful world outside of the cave. (or a closed office space with sectional dividers)
It works. You refuse to acknowledge it. I've already given you countless examples of radio stations that have been brought up by myself and other "oldies trolls" that have large playlists, including one in Southern California, east of LA, but once again, if it isn't #1 or in a large market, they don't matter to you.
So everyone in favor of larger playlists is a troll?
Wow.

"Hotel California"? Somebody in the Hartford radio market already had enough of it! The area pictured is Hartford's Bushnell Park, with the gold dome being our state capitol:

In the April-May-June period last year, when KRTH had about 600 to 700 songs in rotation, it was around 20th in 25-54 listening, and now it is Top 5 or 6.
You have not brought up one significant example of a "successful" station if we define "success" as either having a large audience or being exceptionally successful financially
You crack me up! It was #20 because of the aging 60's music Jhani Kaye kept in rotation,
It's the type (or era) of music that will determine results, not so much the quantity of music. Give it a try.
