You'll have close to a complete turn over in audience over the course of a half hour. I think talked based stations probably have a longer TSL since if you're interested in a topic, you're more likely to stick with it for the half hour or full hour they spend talking about it, whereas with music you kind of get a "new topic", so to speak every 3 to 4 minutes when another song/another artist is played.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13975530.post-70677891609680465802007-03-12T18:19:00.000-04:002007-03-12T18:19:00.000-04:00Song seperation is one thing, but what the hell ha...Song seperation is one thing, but what the hell happened to artist seperation? and it's not just current based radio stations. <BR/><BR/>Listen to WONE/WNCX/WRQK it's AC/DC every 1:15. <BR/><BR/>Listen to WAKS/WKDD/WQAL it's kelly clarkson every 25 minutes. <BR/><BR/>Listen to WGAR/WQMX it's Carrie Underwood every 55 minutes. <BR/><BR/>Why?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13975530.post-56342348958633201672007-03-12T17:53:00.000-04:002007-03-12T17:53:00.000-04:00Bruce Drennan should be a board op at WTAM or WKNR...Bruce Drennan should be a board op at WTAM or WKNR that would really open his eyes and see what he lost because of his arrogance.

I think it might feed the RDS too. A few months ago I was getting title and artist from WMJI on the WAKS RDS and the last 10 played on their websites were reversed. (kiss on magic, magic on kiss) It's possible that the feed was down and happened to pick back up when the other song came in. <BR/><BR/>I hear things like this often.
