Does that listener want to hear Coldplay?
It could have been a fluke.....it was Sunday afternoon programming. You'd think "Clocks" from '03 would be heard first though.

There are no flukes at KRTH. Clearly "Viva La Vida" tested well with the audience KRTH wants to reach most. To think "Clocks" would have to be played on KRTH first, you have to think in terms of artificial limits instead of response to what the target audience is telling you. It's the difference between winning and losing.

Would you say the same about 1973's "Little Willy", played this morning on their morning show? I don't believe music from The Sweet would test well on that particular station, but I could be wrong. It played this morning around 8:10 during morning drive. A good song and rarely heard today it seems. Hey, maybe they are shaking things up just a tad.
I once caught Little Willy on XM's 70's on 7 during Dennis The Menace's Friday night show 9pm-1am. Good Song! However KRTH might have played it to see if there would be a response from the station's audience. Yes I understand that obscure hits out of nowhere turn off listeners, but maybe Gary Bryan wanted to take a small risk since it was the morning drive? Is Little Willy actually on KRTH's playlist?
They did play "Fox on the Run" once a week in five of the last 6 weeks.
Around 2002 or 2003 I noticed KRTH was playing some songs from the early 80's. I remember hearing the Pointer Sister's "I'm So Excited" on KRTH! I think that was being done to update the playlist while keeping the 60's/70's. then the 80's were cut a year later and the station reverted back to 55-79. A lot of oldies stations were trying to freshen up their image while retaining the classics.

I hear The Sweet played on 88.5 FM (KCSN/KSBR) including "Little Willy" as well as other tracks by the group. I know that's a different format but what I like about the station is the playlist is a mile wide and a mile deep. Few restrictions

Sounds like my kind of station. I remember them, when I lived in South OC. Weren't they new age / jazz, for years and years it seemed? Out of Saddleback College and run by students I remember.
Oldies, are you reading the non-KRTH threads? KCSN/KSBR gets a lot of discussion time on this board and the two signals have been merged for some time now. If only they could reach downtown Glendale...
But I digress - you should check them out. I find their new music choices to be wanting sometimes - Like Twisted Sister's Dee Snyder sings, "I wanna Rock" and a lot of times the new artists on KCSN simply do not, but one can sit through a lot because a gold track is never too far away, and as Super says, a lot of times Sky does a good job picking out some gems.
Now if I can just get them to play Lone Justice...

And maybe, if I lived out there, I could get them to play Fairport Convention, or Donna Summer, or old Bob Newhart comedy records. Truthfully, the station's non-format, from the way you're describing it, sounds like a train wreck. But I guess with community/college stations, finding an enthusiastic few trumps finding many who merely find your station pleasant listening. Or maybe the only thing that matters is if the program director and DJs have big smiles on their faces.
