One Way or Another
Why are classic rock stations limited to the same predictable, boring playlists? There are absolutely no unpredictable tracks that are played by my local FM stations.
I understand the basic business part of FM is to attract the largest number listeners to hear the ads. I also understand that the main target audience is likely age 50+. What I do not understand is how can a station that plays the same Aerosmith/Led Zeppelin/ZZ Top etc hits attract such listeners. Boring! Jazz, folk, classical stations don't seem to be stuck in the same stale rut.
Can anyone explain the business model adopted by FM rock stations? Or do they really think us old timers want to hear the same tracks over and over and over....?
