I posted a random play list for five o'clock. Are you going to tell me music lovers like dj's talking over the music and taking away music time for traffic reports, weather reports, local news and contests?

In an attempt at spin, the new Jack station is interrupting the music with alleged listeners' comments about how great the Jack format is. Kind of defeats the whole purpose of what they're supposedly doing, don'tcha think?

Not really. They don't talk over the music at all. I even heard the opening bars of a familiar song today and didn't recognize it because the other radio stations used to cut the beginnings off. And the endings.
I also heard a remix of a song today. It was a long version of "Relax".

I read the play list yesterday. They had 12 songs an hour. If they're playing the long versions and the album cuts. That maybe as long as four minutes for each song. Figure three minutes at twelve songs an hour doesn't leave that much time for commercials.

Enjoy your traffic and weather reports with your contests and news. I listened to four songs on my short commute. One was "Black" by Pearl Jam. I haven't heard that one in over a year.
