Abstract
Due to product differentiation and targeting policies, radio stations applying the same music format may show distinct differences in their music offerings. This article contributes to the methodology and development of practical measures for the analysis of radio playlists. Drawing from Philip Napoli's model on the dimensions of diversity, the authors develop indicators that cover four components of musical diversity: origin, ownership, repetition, and epoch of music. To demonstrate the feasibility of these indicators, this article compares the music played by Finland’s three leading adult contemporary stations.
