You have a few rock-rock segues that I might have avoided, but it's not too bad in terms of title selection.

In segment one, I would have avoided FOB and The Fray being next to each other, as well as Avril and P!ATD.

Segment two has a lot of unfamiliar records in a row... Nickelback, Omarion, Augustana, and Cartel... you definitely need something more familiar, probably of a Rhythmic variety, in between Augustana and Cartel (which I might not have scheduled to begin with, as it's quickly moving down the chart.. might have been a better record out there). I also don't think I would have put RF and Nickelback next to one another.

Segment three isn't horrible, although Hinder-Beyonce is a slight tempo nightmare (at least for my personal taste in scheduling). GITP, as much as I really like that record, was not a huge CHR hit and probably shouldn't be in there. If you HAVE to play a JM record, I'd suggest The Remedy as a gold in that position, but if you're going to play CMWYS out of it, I'd go with something else. I'm not a fan of the Avril-GD segue at the end, for two reasons. First, that's two Avril songs in the same hour. She's not strong enough on CHR at the moment, IMO, to warrant that. Second, you've got two guitar-based records in a row with her next to GD.

Would I still listen to this station? Probably. Do I think it needs some tweaking? Yes. Do I think it's horrible? Not at all. :)

As far as stations that might sound like this... WNCI, WSTW, WIXX, Star 94/ Atlanta, and WZEE all come to mind.
 
Thank God I ain't programming a real station at all. Pheww. What If I added more of a rock approach to it? Are their anystations that are Rock Leaning CHR's?

Replace Avril Lavigne "Keep Holding On" with Usher's "Yeah", or some sort of huge hip-hop/dance hit preferably by a male artist. Actually Kevin Lyttle's "Turn Me On" would look even better.

Commerical Break

Red Jumpsuit Apparatus-Face Down
Justin Timberlake-What Goes Around...
Rascal Flatts-What Hurts The Most

You might want SexyBack instead of What Goes Around...

Nickelback-If Everyone Cared

Rascal Flatts and Nickelback are light-guitar/Hot AC driven. You might want The Sweet Escape here.

Omarion-Ice Box
Augustana-Boston* New Music -- Put an upbeat AAR recurrent here. Augustana is too mid/low-tempoed after Omarion's "Ice Box".
Cartel-Honestly -- change with "Break It Off" or some sort of female R&B/dance-lite hit that is familiar
Nelly-Ride Wit' Me *Back In The Day
Katherine McPhee-Over It
Lifehouse-Blind

Just completely get rid of Lifehouse. Sounds run-on after Over It.

Commerical Break

Hinder-Lips Of An Angel
Beyonce-Irreplaceable
Hilary Duff-With Love
Daughtry-It's Not Over
Gwen Stefani-Sweet Escape (Remix)
Jason Mraz-Geek In The Pink
Evanescence-Call Me When You're Sober
Akon-Don't Matter*New Music
Avril Lavigne-Complicated *Back In The Day
Green Day-Boulevard Of Broken Dreams

Most of this is solid except the Complicated/Blvd. Of Broken Dreams run-together. Seperate with some hip-hop and this is a solid set overall.

Overall not bad for someone who doesn't operate a real station. The music selection is good, just the way it flows is a little off especially set #2.

Honestly, the first set is terrible. Not only do you have 5 "top 10" songs in a row, but afterwards you have 5 mid-tempo songs in a row.

Second set would be good if you seperated the unfamiliar songs.

The music is all over the place. Akon & Fergie in a row: No. And NO remixes. Just the hit versions. Too Urban, I think. Sorry...
