I just noticed KRTH was playing something totally different this morning. Are they trying to expand their shares to include the 18 to 25 female bracket because some of the artist they played were currents. I was highly surprised when I looked at the playlist from today. Just sayin.

KRTH Saturday mornings something new?
- Thread starter 30james
- Start date
Unfortunately on most of the websites for Audacy-owned music stations, lately the "Recently Played" feature has become woefully incomplete and inaccurate. That was the case here as the same Saturday 3/19/2022 playlist appears on the websites for:
93.1 Jack FM
94.7 The Wave
K-Earth 101
KROQ
KROQ-HD2 Roq Of The 80s
If I had to guess, the incomplete playlist that's there for Sat. 3/19/2022 matches closest to Jack FM,
but it could theoretically be for *any* one of Audacy's music stations with a similar format.
As for what actually went out over the air on K-Earth 101, please use the link below
to view their playlist where the usual selection of songs were aired
(click on "Sat. 19-03" at the top of the web page to view the 3/19/2022 playlist):
There are gaps for pre-recorded programming between 5 AM - 8 AM;
*needs confirmation*: I believe Part 1 of Scott Shannon's America's Greatest Hits airs
for 2 of those hours on Saturday mornings with Part 2 airing on Sunday mornings.
EDIT: I checked several Audacy music stations with different formats in several markets
and the same playlist appears for all stations for Saturday 3/19/2022.
Thus, even though the Sunday 3/20/2022 Audacy website playlists seem to return to normal for the multiple stations,
it would be hard to trust whatever one sees regarding what was "Recently Played".

So jack is playing more alternative currents then?

No, they went to Alt which is now leading or in the top 3 in LA in 18-43.
Not necessarily. Re-read my post - especially the last paragraph starting with the word "EDIT". The same playlist for Saturday 3/19/2022 that you originally viewed on the kearth101.com site was used for multiple stations in multiple formats in multiple cities/markets. Therefore I can not say for certain where that particular playlist originated; it could have been one of hundreds of Audacy radio stations *nationwide*, not necessarily in Los Angeles.
Unfortunately I can not find an independent, publicly available non-Audacy link to a "Recently Played" playlist for 93.1 Jack FM (KCBS-FM L.A.) which would confirm or deny the origin of the malfunctioning playlist.

If you will send me the playlist you have via DM, I can check it against the BDS monitor playlist and see if there are any discrepancies, since we are still within the rolling seven-day window for same.
I also sent a DM message to K.M. (thanks for your help!):
The source of the mysterious Audacy playlist has been found:

How this particular slice of playlist wound up on most (all?) of Audacy's music-formatted websites
under "Recently Played" 32 days after its inception is anyone's guess.
