No repeat repetititon

The local rock oldies station recently revamped their format. Facing competition from 106.50 the Arch which bragged that it didn't play the same song twice in one day -- 96.36 KHITS decided to do them one better.

Now KHITS won't play the same song twice in one WEEK. To get a playlist that long, they're playing a fair number of songs from rock albums, and including stuff that dropped off the playlists many years ago.

The DJs seem to really like it, since they're playing a much larger variety of stuff than they used to. They keep saying, "Man, I haven't played that one in 20 years. It's great to hear it again." And I believe they're sincere.

My feelings are mixed. I do enjoy hearing a lot of the songs they never played before . . . but I also sometimes miss the familiarity. Some of what I hear is new to me -- there're a lot of songs I missed as singles and a lot of albums I've never heard. Yet some of it, I just don't care much about.

I'd like to weed out some of the songs -- including almost everything by Elton John -- and focus only on the ones I like.

How about a no repeat every 3 days?
