This has been on my mind for years now:

Why do most radio stations insist on playing the same selection of songs over and over?

I imagine it must be a copyrights thing? Pay for usage of this particular catalogue for a year?

Don’t those DJs get absolutely sick of it after a while?

Reagan never ruled on my country and it's the same.

Radio stations play the same songs over and over again.

    Can I assume Denmark from your username?

    I don't know enough about other countries to make an intelligent comment.

    On the other hand, I could write a book on how Reagan screwed up the US media.

    Before him, kids' cartoons were highly regulated. After he came in, you started seeing full length commercials like "GI Joe" and "The Transformers."

    Cable was getting off the ground at the time, and the FCC could have reigned in Fox News.
