Different stations, different cities, different formats, but the same corporations running the same playlist loop recordings at dozens of radio stations nationwide. Think of them as Muzak with commercials. They make corporate royalty deals that allow them to play certain songs as many times as they want at as many radio stations as they want, indefinitely.
