Same with classic rock stations, I swear to fucking god Boston’s 100.7 plays Turn the Page by Bob Seger or Metallica’s cover daily at like 7:45am. That’s usually followed by one of 3 AC/DC songs then 10-15 minutes of commercials since iHeartRadio bought them a while ago.
Years ago when I was carrying shingles for a job the guys always had the local ‘top 40’ station on. The station played the same songs in the same order with the same break timings for weeks. This was in the days before computers could run everything so it wasn’t that. All told it came out to around 6.5-7 hours before the loop would start again. Just enough to time shift the part of the loop you heard each day so you wouldn’t notice if you were commuting. But it was enough to make you want to jump off the roof listening all day every day.
