On what research do you base this? How do you know "This is SO TRUE?" 
We all seem to forget the huge success of Top 40 with a tiny 
playlist. Maybe it flourished because those 40 songs were 
interspersed with great talent. Growing up I was able to listen to 
WABC, WBZ, WDRC, WKBW, WHDH and many other stations with 
personalities that relied on showbiz rather than shock. The music was 
almost an afterthought. We don't have much of that kind of talent today.
