Evolution 107.9 - Adds/Changes - Updated Oct. 29!

[KelownaGuy20]

This is something I do for the other station I work for (SunFM Kelowna) in the Canadian charts forum, but I thought this might be interesting...

Music adds and changes done to a student run AAA station in Vancouver, BC. It's Evolution 107.9!

This was something I did at another board, that I've always found interesting, so I'd give this a shot here. It kind of gives you a sense of the inner workings musically of a HotAC/CHR station.

What is the qualification for "recurrent rotation"? Is there a certain amount of spins that makes it qualify?

Honestly, not really.

Rotations are weird on this station, because there are 3 current categories, plus recurrent and gold.

So when a song wears itself out, or the music committee tires of it, it just goes right to recurrent.
