It depends on the format. In formats like smooth jazz, ac, some country formats, etc where TSL is typically higher than say CHR or HOT AC formats then yes, lots still are. However, it is quite difficult to make an automation system do a great song to song segue

Why? You can't write "internet" or "iPod" or "not listening while at work" in a diary.

Yes. Usually I play two songs back-to-back (segue) in each music set. Sometimes 3 or even 4. The "stopsets" (no spots) are usually just to ID the artists/titles, then move into the next song. (Short & sweet) Sometimes I'll add a brief comment that is relevant to the theme of the program and the songs I'm playing.

An attack that cost us around $600 in revenue before I was able to talk my board op through the process of getting the system back on track. All this while I was 600 miles away, and had already gone to church. If I had at least still been in my hotel room I could have fixed it myself with my laptop and PCAnywhere.<P ID="signature">______________

I guess my thought is that in the over-crowded information age we live in song-to-song segues accomplish nothing for the station...no top of mind...a missed opportunity to connect with your listener...

Sure.
When I gave my tiny, four-word answer, I was thinking of three kinds of stations where I hear this occur:
-- stations in places with few signals and little or no format overlap
-- heritage stations that are dominant in format and truly "own" a genre of music
-- stations with unique, unmistakable formats and very knowledgable and loyal audiences
In these situations, one might value the overall listening experience greater than the opportunity to ID every single time.
