Bringing it all back to the point...
The past few weeks have seen a flurry of activity on the boards about programming ideas. I'd like to say that in my opinion, AM is almost perfect. Everyone can make a request once per hour. Therefore, everyone gets to have the same imput as to what the station plays. Then the problem started. Someone(s) who volunteered to be the Flower Kings/Transatlantic cheerleading squad began abusing the requests, forcing the rest of us to listen to the 30-minutes tracks by these bands every day. The quest for a solution began. It got WAY off the point (which I am guilty of as well) - the point being solving over-requesting, or over-playing, of certain songs.
In the spirit of solving this one simple problem, I again propose the simplest solution I can think of, using the KISS method (Keep It Simple Stupid). Lenghten the time between plays of the same artist from 2 to 3 or 4 hours. If TFK are request at 8, 9, and 10 by one listener, they can currently play at 9, 11, and 1. Changing this to 3 hours would make those requests play at 9, 12, and 3. Changing it to 4 hours makes those requests play at 9, 1, and 5. The Benefits:
That one simple change will solve 99% of the problem. Thanks, and I'm through for now.

gee thanks
What you just did Spaz, basically, was state your position AGAIN in another thread.
I called my thread "programming" cause it was nice little term. So far, I think we've gotten some nice feedback. I am not trying to "fix" one simple problem - I am trying to have a discussion. If you read carefully, you will see that MY opinion was that I like the Moon fine as it is. Thanks, and I am DEFINITELY through on this. |
