What songs can be played on the radio?

This depends on something called "format." Each station wants to reach a different audience-- perhaps teens, perhaps older adults, perhaps people who love rock and roll, or people who love jazz, etc. A station will choose a format, based on what they believe will be the most successful in their city. Some popular formats are rock, top-40, country, black/dance/hip-hop, and oldies. Once a station chooses a format and a target audience, the songs will fit into that style. So, a country station would not play rock, and a jazz station would not play oldies. Most top-40 stations use a "playlist," which means they can only play the biggest hits, a few recent hits, and some up-and-coming hits. Some stations have a wide playlist-- they play a lot of songs from all years. Other stations have a narrow playlist, which means they restrict the songs to a chosen number of the biggest hits. On terrestrial radio (AM and FM), stations generally avoid songs with certain swear words in them, or they ask the record company for an edited version. Some stations also avoid songs that are about controversial subjects like politics, while others are fine about playing even songs about "hot button" issues. But whether on satellite or on terrestrial radio, stations play the songs they believe their listeners want to hear, based on research, downloads and record sales, and the educated opinions of the station's music director and program director.

Why do radio stations repeat the news so often throughout the day?

For more than five decades, radio has played certain songs over and over because those were the songs people requested the most. Radio stations with a "top 40" format (the 40 top selling hits in the country) were designed to be almost like a jukebox, except they have personalities called disc jockeys who talk to you and also play the songs. Stations repeat the most popular songs in what is called a "heavy rotation"-- that is, the #1 song may repeat every hour and ten minutes, because that song is the one the most people are requesting and buying. To you and me, the repetition might seem boring, but people tune in at different times, and when they do, they want to hear their favorite song. Stations are always trying to get the most listeners, because the size of the audience determines how much money the station can charge advertisers for commercials. (Like them or not, commercials pay for the operation of most stations.) The good news is that not every station plays the same songs over and over-- there are a number of different radio formats, and each has its own version of rotation-- for example, in album rock and classic rock, stations will repeat an important song every two or three days; other songs might be repeated once a week, or even once a month. How often songs get repeated is determined by the station's format, and how many songs are on their official playlist. Top-40 and hit music stations tend to have smaller playlists, while jazz and classical and album rock tend to have larger playlists.


How do you lock radio stations in a 1996 Jeep Cherokee?

For my radio, you simply select the station you want and then hold the preset button down for about 5 seconds. The station is now set to that button. Note: Each of my 6 preset buttons will select two stations each, so you first must select the first or second preset, by tapping it once or twice, before performing the 5 second hold down.

Is capital FM the best radio station?

well it depends because it actually you're decision on what radio station is the best. If everybody agreed on the 'best' radio station, there would only be about one radio station in each city. (The people who owned it would be crazy rich from their rate card, and you'd be lucky to hear four songs an hour if you could pick them out of the commercials.)

How do you program the radio in a cavalier 2003?

To program the radio, you will need to manually tune in to whatever station you'd like programmed. Once tuned in to that station, press and hold one of the numbered preset buttons on your radio for several seconds. When you hear a beep, or a pause in the radio sound, it has been programmed. Repeat this process for each preset button.
