I have worked at a Christian radio station for the past 2 years, and recently have just left it. It is one of the one's mentioned on this forum, but I'm not going to reveal which one.
[1]The reason why songs are so repetitive, is because they think that a person is not listening to the radio for longer than a 2 hour period. Most people are probably in their cars for 30 minutes to 1 hour on the way to and from work, and maybe in the car for 30 minutes on their lunch break. After that, they probably go home and don't turn on the radio again.
But for those of us who listen at work, or longer than 2 hours, this is when you will hear the same song over and over again.
[2]Also, all of the music picked to play on the radio comes from charts. They most likely will watch the charts and only add the top 20 songs.
As for the great music you know of but they are never playing...most of the time these artists are not on record labels, and I know the station I worked for would not play artists unless they had a label.
Finally, the station i used to work for just got a new Music Director, who i think will bring a lot of new music on to the station. I've seen a change already.
Sorry for the long post, but just so you know it bothers me as well!
[1] I echo the above post as to "why" you hear the same songs over and over on Christian statiions also.
[2] Which always begs the question, which came first, the chicken or the egg? [:D]
