Core. Fresh hits for the UK

They had a feature on their website where you could "request" a song (from their playlist), and it would tell you when they'd play it for you - presumably the time it was due to be played anyway.

Was the music log not generally the same songs at the same time as the GWR FM network?

Reminds me of the Music:Fun:Life era of the TLRC stations where on the ‘Workday Text and Request’ you could choose ANY song you wanted (via premium rate text) and it’d get played, but only if it it had already coincidentally been scheduled on the log in advance.

Cue lots of annoyed listeners running up their phone bills trying to request songs that weren’t amongst the 200 or so in rotation, and so would never get played.
