This has been on my mind for years now:

Why do most radio stations insist on playing the same selection of songs over and over?

I imagine it must be a copyrights thing? Pay for usage of this particular catalogue for a year?

Don’t those DJs get absolutely sick of it after a while?

    Oi mate, you got a loicense for that track?

    If the station is failing and the track selection was that dire (2 fucking songs??) I’d be contacting small labels / indie labels asking for written permission to play their music and if they can send you a CD or record or whatever. Guarantee you’d get several bites from small artists that want their music heard. Hindsight 20-20 and all though.
