Premium | A successful radio station thrives on music, mornings and marketing. This station could optimise some aspects of its song library and music scheduling.

Following part 1a of our first Format X-Ray, where we’ve analysed radio programming aspects, this part 1b (and the upcoming part 1c) will focus on music scheduling on this CHR station, based on 3 hours of aircheck. While their content programming looks overall consistent, their music programming indicates necessary improvement. The key is to achieve more music variety by creating better song exposure.
