The station I was at was a community station
http://www.pacificanetwork.org/radio/content/view/47/63/ so we barley
had the budget to have basics :)  I was doing a classic rock show as
part of my vocational telecom cert in High School.  Most of the stuff I
was playing was on LP's. 

I honestly couldn't tell you how the commercial stations are doing it or
how WECI is operating now.  From what I understand most commercial
stations are running a master playlist from the main office and a local
does news/traffic/weather on cue and it goes right back to the playlist
