Default Retail/Business Music Systems with FM-tie-in

So based upon where we are, there are
two radio stations, an adult-contempo and
a CHR(contempo hits radio) station from
which HQ buffers songs, then pushes them
out to all dozen stores in our district, inter-
mixed with announcements about discounts,
etc.

The music and the playlist is stored on the Danish server or possibly a
local proxy, not buffered from the local FM stations. If you look at the
advert in full, the customer has full control over what is played, so if
you think the content is not appropriate, you need to speak to whoever
deals with the playlist at your head office.

What may have happened is that the person in charge of the playlist has
looked at the most requested (or played) songs from your local stations
and used those, as they are, presumably, the most popular songs in your
area, so will tempt the customers to spend more time and money in the
store. Staff preferences do not enter the equation.
