I was examining the last 15 hours of WLS-FM's playlist. I've come to the conclusion this station is stuck on both Billy Joel and especially Michael Jackson.

Todd is at it again. Yeah, I get it: research, research, research and testing songs to death.

>>BILLY JOEL<<
1:27 AM Uptown Girl
9:18 AM My Life
10:55 AM Uptown Girl (again!)
1:18 PM Piano Man
2:14 PM It's Still Rock and Roll to Me
--------------------
Todd, Stevie Nicks had more than one hit.
4:35 AM Edge of Seventeen
1:46 PM Edge of Seventeen
--------------------
I saved the "best" for last. Michael Jackson OWNS 94.7 in Chicago. Testing must have gone through the roof! Take a look.
>>MICHAEL JACKSON<<
12:39 AM Thriller
1:33 AM Bad
2:29 AM Rock with You
4:17 AM Wanna Be Startin' Something
5:39 AM The Way You Make Me Feel
7:20 AM Beat It
9:38 AM Thriller
11:14 AM Pretty Young Thing
1:51 PM Billie Jean
2:52 PM Bad

This is lazy programming. Far too many great songs which test well aren't being played. I get it...Billy Joel and Michael Jackson are core artists, among others.

WDRV-FM 97.1/The Drive...sleep well, WLS-FM doesn't rock as hard and frequently as they used to since changing program directors. No way anyone confuses WLS-FM with WDRV-FM. If you're lucky, both stations might play a Tom Petty song at the same time.
