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?

    Good DJs can play a set and back announce the tracks. Jim Ladd on KLOS comes to mind as a DJ I would specifically tune into back in the early 00’s. This was because of the awesome sets he’d produce, intermixing top hits with b-sides and deep cuts, truly expanding my knowledge and love of classic rock.
