It's not a good mix it's playing the same as heart so no different and completely pointless like smooth extra.

Heart Extra
The Heart extra isn't carbon copy of Heart's main playlist. I've been listening and there have been tracks you'd not hear on the other playlist. e.g. Elton John 'Sad Songs' Cher 'If I Could Turn Back Time' Pet Shop Boys / Dusty Springfield 'What Have I Done To Deserve This' Diana King 'Shy Guy' The Pasadenas 'Tribute (Right On) etc etc
So, definitely a tweak in that playlist and I think it's a great idea, to have the option of having a non-stop music weekdays from 9am to 7pm

Why launch a station which plays the same songs as the main? When Steve Penk launched an online station he wasn't going to play music which others repeat and he does it. So I'm sure these extra stations can do the same. It seems pointless

I get the feeling Heart extra is what Heart would be if they didn't have to work to the format restraints of the existing stations they took over a few years ago. To my ears there seem to be a lower proportion of current tracks than on the main station.

Not listened yet but wondering if it really is non stop music (or just DJless) rather than being punctuated with news, travel and, worst of all, adverts.

Adverts play every 20 to 30 minutes no news, travel or presenters from 9am to 7pm
So as I suspected its not "non stop music". |

No it wasn't. Chain Reaction is only an active title on Heart Extra.

Smart Programmer, so how is Heart Extra different? Is it supposed to have a different skew, or is it just a slightly different selection of tracks? And what is the strategic point of Heart Extra?

I've had extra on a few times this week at work, and it works quite well while grafting, tune after tune without hardly any annoying input apart from some adverts on a lot less than normal heart.
To be fair most songs are ones of the main playlist, but there are a lot more rarer tracks on that would normally only apear in time tunnel or all 80s, so certanly for work anyway not to bad for a hour or so a day. |
