I've been told that playlists have been discontinued for the time being. Music will be changed occasionally as a new group is looking to change the music

Looks like your getting more insider info than i am, playlist discontinued sounds a little harsh but i'm not surprised they went in that direction.

the most logical way would be to use whatever songs they have in the computer from previous playlists and years instead of repeating the same 20 odd songs every day, they're making an easy transition harder than it really is.

it's lovely the Boston Area doesn't even have the IS2, and the director of Xfinity Boston PR hasn't gotten any word of a launch date yet.

it would be nice if the new playlist started on Monday when the changes are occurring, but i bet it won't happen.

I wonder why it's now seemingly a hassle to update the music. I'm very happy the music was changed, even if the list
is incomplete.

There could be tons of reasons why the playlist hasn't offically started (TWC music team is having copyright problems, picky genre selection, determining duration of playlist, etc.)

but it shouldn't take 2 months to create a new playlist all you have to do is look at 2000 - early 2009 for monthly playlists.

also like i posted before if TWC really wanted to fix the playlist issues all they really have to do is return to a monthly format before April 2009 and we wouldn't be confused if this is a new playlist or not.

Mine comes from the Chelmsford, MA Comcast Location so you can bet it's not accurate weather here.

In case anyone wants a refresher, I emailed TWC for a playlist and got nothing back, not even a reply about the song rotation issue, so the full playlist might not come out (if not during primetime today like with the Jan playlist) until sometime next week. What I don't understand is if they're  having so many issues finding nonjazz songs for the march playlist, then why can't they just let the January/Feb playlist run for the rest of this month?

That's just the Smooth Jazz removal biting TWC in the rear end
