How long will it take to play 10,000 songs

Looking at the YES.com log for 92.3 Now, they have played 45 songs in 166 minutes. That's an average length of 3.68888... minutes per song. That will be 36888.89 minutes of commercial free music. 614.8 hours, 25.617 days commercial free! 8 AM on Monday, April 6th is when you will hear the first commercial. There is a 95% chance of it being within 9 PM Sunday April 5th and 7 PM Monday April 6th. It depends how long the DJs talk once the jocks go on the air. My sample is just .45% of the 10,000 songs.

As for how many of those 10,000 songs will be "Poker Face", I estimate 500 if they keep the same power rotation till mid-April.
 
All I know is, for a station that performed horribly, K-Rock must have billed really well, playing seven-minute stopsets even up until the very end, between "Good Riddance" and "Times Like These".
 
And then.....

"By popular demand, we're doing it AGAIN!
ANOTHER 10,000 songs in a row, commercial
FREE!" The New 923 NOW RADIO, The hit music

It would have gotten more attention to play Circus all day yesterday, then flip today. And wouldn't sound too much different.
 
7 minute stop sets on a 1 share radio station=a bunch of agency demanded bonus spots, espically in this bad economy!
 
They could limit their stopsets to 1 minute and 4 an hour, and charge a premium for the spots. Then charge for the DJ to speak about an advertiser's product.

Without knowing specifics, I would guess many of those fell into one of the following categories:

1. Ad inventory carried the rest of the day from advertisers who were primarily interested in reaching the O&A audience, since that show was actually doing pretty well in its demo.

2. CBS network ad inventory.

3. Cluster-wide ad buys....carrying ads also heard on the other CBS Radio stations in NYC.
