The extra daypart just puts an extra burden as to how many songs are used, the types, etc.
It doesn't have to. The reason it does is because of how TWC/NBC is going about it.

Yup and unfortunately it's their decision. It doesn't bother me for the most part because the more NBCU messes with TWC, the more I can lose interest in TWC and move on to other things. (which I'm having trouble doing)

Hey, you and me both! Recent changes in how I view TWC have put further stress on that issue. :offtopic:

I'd agree with Aaron on that one. The daytime list is super lengthy. Maybe if they can extend like... one more hour of the morning playlist, It'll be much more even. I really don't mind the repeats. It's called recycling. Besides, it's really not that bad.
You misunderstood him... he was saying how short the daytime playlist is, and I can agree with that. The portion of the day we call daytime is longer than nighttime during most of the year anyways so it makes sense for it to be longer than the other dayparts.

Exactly. It is incredibly difficult now to catch much of the daytime list when I travel, since most hotels don't let you stay later than noon (even though Holiday Inn Express does let you have extended checkout), and I can't get to these places very early.

Tavores, thanks for clarifying that on Songbird and Let it Rain, I thought it was just me feeling as if those were the only two songs on the primetime daypart lol. :lol:
LOL count me in. Nothin But Love by Boney James was brought back from January/February 2010 and that list felt like forever. I think TWC really needs to focus more into the smooth jazz genre because I can't just see them continuing with this selection. I count at least 16-17 songs in this playlist that were used on a previous playlist. Back in 2008 and early 2009 (except March) there were few repeated songs because most of the music was new smooth jazz music and a bit of Ryan Farish from time to time. The extra dayparts just puts an extra burden as to how many songs are used, the types, etc.

There are farrrrrr too many repeats. Not only do I mean repeats in terms of former playlist songs, but songs that play several times in a row. Last week, I heard Toss the Feathers play at least 6 times in the morning. And I completely agree that they should play smooth jazz, and not just the typical run-of-the-mill smooth jazz like Boney James. I don't understand TWC's aversion to playing smooth jazz during primetime. I rarely listen to primetime, because all I hear are theme songs and rock.

The morning daypart is alright. One problem is I don't get to hear the daytime daypart often during the week (expect breaks) now.
