When Classic fm launched, 20 years ago now, they trumpeted the fact that their programming would be computer-contolled, to ensure that the same piece did not get played twice in one week. Now they are so audience and request driven that I have even heard the same piece twice on the same day, and I don't listen to that much of it. Apart from the various complaints listed above my biggest criticism is that the same chunks, bleeding or otherwise, get played over and over again, and new works tend to creep in by accident rather than design.
