"Music and music scheduling on P3"
Computer-selection of music on the radio. Denmarks Radio channel P3 – and most local radio stations – use a computer together with ‘Music Master’ software to support them in their choice of music. This phenomenon is called ‘Music Scheduling’ and has suffered a lot of criticism at the hands of the press. Mik Aidt explains: - why the larger radio stations use radio-scheduling in all their prime-time programmes, what P3 will and won’t play and the reasoning behind it.
