That's what I mean... that's always what I will mean Robert.
Then I guess you meant "too", not "to"
I fail to see how music schedule editing compares to AM radio. Scheduling software, when configured properly, controls the repetition and content. This of course assumes the person setting up the priorities, knows exactly what s/he is doing.
Would you rather music programmers go back to using the index card method?

Yes, Robert, I really meant "too" instead of "to" or "2" or "two".....
s far as programming goes.... like another contibutor has already so aptly stated:
>> Garbage In >> Garbage Out
In my world of radio Programming, computers would be used to "weed out" all of the songs that were not to be played from a long list of artists.
Then, the DJ would have free reign to select those songs not on the 'do not play' list.
The do not play list would include 'most' of the over-played great rock songs, and most of the commerical rock songs and over-played singles. I would not let a computer select an artist that I refuse to play, no matter how well known. KVIL doesn't play any Zeppelin, and I don't play any John C Mellancamp. I might play some Carly Simon though.
I would love to weed out all of the tired over-played Classic Rock music, and songs that really suck, and leave this great body of cool music for a DJ to feel free to 'program' into his shift.
That's the kind of freedom I would like a DJ to have on an album rock station.
But DFW does not have such a station.
Instead, it ahs DJs playing what the corporate computer for the chain says to play...
That is not music nirvana for ANYONE that I know. 8)
Ummm, well.... If you don't want a specific artist / song to play, then you don't enter it into the music scheduling software. It's that simple.
In the day when jocks got to pick whatever song they wanted, from the active library, patterns emerged. Jocks tended to play / overplay their personal favorites from the active list, and ignore the others. It waa essentially biased programming, and listeners typically called in complaints of the same song airing at the same time olf day, and so on.
when configured properly, Music scheduling software removes the bias, and evens the rotations.

And removes the musical creativity/personality the jocks had "back in the day". One person's "biased programming" is another person's "I love his show". Remember when "shows" weren't just on in morning drive?

Computers had nothing to do with that. That is the result of PD's / GM's. etc.

When the PD programs the computer properly it's balanced better than when jocks picked their favorites. No brainer.

Depending IF THE PD knows what the hell they are doing. They also can program their personal favorites.

If the jock is good, it is a "show", regardless of the day part.

Yes they can and do play their favorites and many times BS us into thinking it's all researched, however i will say that whenever i worked at a station that had a good pd/md and spent most of the day working on music logs THAT has been the best way to rotate music.
Even back in the so called free days of radio, most jocks had a list to play from. They had more freedom to instantly play a request or play a song out of order as long as they got all of them in, but even then it created problems like jocks skipping over certain songs, or skipping those: 02 second intro records.
