Why do radio stations keep playing the same stuff over and over? (leminal.space)

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?

Time to switch to a radio station that's not bought by some big money agenda?

I recently got back into somafm again, after many many years hiatus.

    In my personal time I prefer just listening to albums on a usb stick if you catch my drift. It’s at work where it bugs me.

    Fun suggestion:

    Slip work's radio a usb stick, surreptitiously, some day, with better tunes and none of the crap.

    And (of course) a bigger collection, that won't loop over the same so soon.
