Hi Rose,
I haven't been in radio for years, but here's the deal I think.
Much of the music (all radio formats) these days is delivered to file servers (big computers) via satellite. I don't know how often they download, but for that amount of time, you hear that playlist. Then the opposite happens -- you hear something you really would like to hear again -- and its gone for heaven knows how long. This is especially true of oldies and classic rock stations.
In fact, you'll notice as you travel from town to town you hear those same songs because the stations subscribe to the same service.
Of course, there some "big programmer in the sky" who decides what you should be hearing.
When I was a disc jockey in the 60's, I personally owned about 500 45 RPM "oldies" singles so I used to bring them to the station and play them. I wish the heck I still had them.
