You mean the stories or the songs?

[Hervard]

The songs. And I mean all the extras (the AT10 Extras, the Spotlight and Archives). As for the stories, I don't know, since my station no longer carries the show. I get this info from an AT40 website.

That does seem inevitable if they're playing 20-some extras per week. And I know the LDD songs get replayed. How many times have we heard "Because You Loved Me"?

[Arson]

LDD repeats I can understand, since there are certain songs pertaining to various themes that everyone likes to request.

There have been so many songs on the AC chart in the past 30 years that repeating of extras within a short period is less forgivable. I understand, though, that the show can't play too many obscure songs.

[Hervard]

As I recall, at first they were playing songs that were not necessarily obscure, but songs that you don't hear every single day on AC radio. But "Band Of Gold", "Kokomo", "Baker Street", "Hotel California", "I Want It That Way", and especially "Margaritaville" have been played at least twice before on AT20/AT10 in the past year.

At least they played a few "new" extras ("Masterpiece", "California Dreamin'", "Mexico" and a few others, so at least all the songs weren't repeats.
