Sometimes I will be listening to the radio, and lets say a Rolling Stones song is on. Then I will change to another station, and they are playing a Stone's song also. This seems to happen a lot. Do radio stations listen to each other and mimick each other, or is this just coincidence

probably coincidence

of course if it's AM commercial stations they probably all play the same stuff over and over

I think most mainstream/classic rock/country..etc have a similar playlist more than likely provided by the same 'market research' company.

Thta is what I have read anyway

The days of a DJ picking what he plays without being restricted to THE list is long gone

Of course the "playlist" makes it easier to file all the paperwork to pay the rights and royalties to the record labels, too, looking at it from an administrative/clerical point of view.

I think they just pay a regular licensing fee to ASCAAP/BMI & they sort it out to the labels..etc Clubs are the same way theyare suppsoed to pay ASCAAP/BMI fees but they have no idea what songs are played or covered by a certian band.

I am not sure how ASCAAP....etc figures out who to pay

One club refuses to pay the fees and has a notice posted no ascaap...etc songs are allowed to be played. Which of course is impossible & he knows that.

It's almost gotten to the point that there is no need for "live" DJs anyway.....everything is on computer.....scheduled out, queued up, ready to go....

I knew you'd have the information.
No ASCAAP means, there's gonna be plenty of original material

I think I would actually prefer this. I want to hear music, not hear some pinhead talk about when he met John Lennon.

Play list, definitely. I've been able to cruise the dial and listen to the same song 4 or 5 times in a row before. Of course, it's never been anything I would typically listen to.
