This patch on automation you can expect to see some rather drastic changes. To start off, we’ve implemented a new “genre block” system that chooses a different genre of music from our library every hour to play. This has presented a new set of difficulties for the balance team here at WTSC, but we’re hoping to get major issues sorted by the end of this patch.
New Additions
We’re looking at a hefty set of additions to the automation system. You can find the complete list here:
- Pop
- Alternative
- Electronic
- 00’s
- 60’s
- 70’s
- 80’s
- 90’s
Buffs
Alternative: 1 → 1.25
Pop: 1 → 1.1
Electronic: 1 → 1.25 (Weekend Nights)
70’s: 1 → 1.1
80’s: 1 → 1.1
Nerfs
The Electronic genre was dominating the airspace; therefore, we’ve decided that, until the genre has been reevaluated, to reduce its airtime. Also, the music selection in the 00’s genre isn’t great. It will also be reevaluated.
Electronic: 1 → 0.5 (Weekday Mornings)
Electronic: 1 → 0.75 (Weekdays)
00’s: 1 → 0.75
Upcoming Changes
- Rock genre
- Classic Rock genre
- Remove Hardstyle from the Electronic block
- Billboard Top 40 block
- Split the “decade” genres more appropriately
