Offices and factories often have the same station on all day everyday plus those who work from home or are at home during the day. It might be quite a high percentage as for some unknown reason people do not switch radio stations like they do TV channels.
I cannot envisage that listeners to Gold or Smooth would be happy to hear the same track twice in three hours. This might even be a little excessive for the Heart diva's?
The thing that always amazes me about this is that if you ask anyone how many tracks they have on there ipod or phone they will always answer in the thousands yet they are apparently so happy to hear songs repeated on the radio. Odd or what?
