Playlist website?

K

Isn't there a website somewhere where you can view the recent playlists of nearly any station in the country? Does anyone have the link?

Thanks.

Supposedly their system monitors radio play by having a computer analyze the song for which song it is. I find it is wrong sometimes on non commercials and stations that play ethnic/Americana (Like KBON and KLRZ).... Thinking one song is another (By guess I presume)
It even hits on the music played by talk hosts on news stations for their introductions (like KPEL).

Another complaint is the drop down menu is not updated and unless you have the correct callsign, it won't list anything for a frequency. The fast fix ha been to substitute callsigns in the we page address at the top and this will at least bring up the last ten songs at least.

However currently there is only monitoring in New Orleans,Baton Rouge, and Shreveport with selective monitoring of Lafayette (monitoring from Baton rouge? But doesn't explain how it catches some low power signals there (like KBEB but no stations like KFTE),Lake Charles (any signal from Lake Chuck making it into Beaumont seems to be listed), and Alexandria (Clear Channel stations only)

Wow, this is cool; it even hits on songs from TV ads. Applebee's has been using "Great Balls of Fire", and it keeps picking it up from the TV stations.

Most places, it only picks up the channel 6 affliate if there is one (such as New Orleans' WDSU) due to it's location right next to the radio band (and the reason WDSU touts being heard on 87.7 FM for... totally legal as they are broadcasting on the assigned audio frequency for channel 6 which is 87.75MHZ.

In New York, it does all the major TV channels, but surprisingly it doesn't have KTAL-TV in Shreveport (which is channel 6 there)

If only the technology would work on AM too..... (probably doesn't due to noise not allowing the computer to sense like a clean FM can)

The site does have AM stations in some cities.

All the Ams or just the companies like Clear Channel that feed the playlist to yes.com?
