can't listen to thunder in midwood brooklyn

People bitch and moan about a lack of variety, but look at the ratings - the stations that run a well researched and programmed "tight" playlist get numbers. WKLB has a 7 share in Boston...Thunder has a 4.5 - and it usually bounces around between a 4 and a 5 share, which tells me that the station is where it will always be unless something changes drastically.

This is likely a result of people doing most of their listening for short periods of time, like in the car or in the shower. If you're only driving 5 minutes to the grocery store or 15 minutes to work then you probably would rather hear the familiar stuff. If you have the radio on for 8 hours while you work I'm sure you would get pretty tired of hearing the same song 15 times a day. When I used to work in Piscataway I shared a room with a woman that played Magic 98.3 all day. It was literally the exact same playlist every couple hours, every day. Drove me nuts.

Yet she didn't change the station, even playing the same stuff day in & day out.

I used to work there, and it was constant deja vu talking in or out of the same songs. But it worked...station is #1 for a reason in M/S/U.

Actually it was because 98.3 was the only station that got reception inside our metal framed building, so I guess she thought it was better than silence. This was well before streaming online became a norm.
