Broken Record Radio runs by the Moon. The month is the frame: the station gets quieter as the moon goes dark and louder as it fills, and the announcer follows it. Inside the month, the day has its hours: a set for each part of the day. Every morning at 5:55 the station signs on with the day, the date and where the Moon is.
| phase | the music | the announcer |
|---|---|---|
| the new moon | quieter | The moon is new and dark. Quiet records while something starts. |
| the crescent | as it is | A sliver of moon. Small beginnings on the air. |
| the first quarter | louder | First quarter. The moon is pushing, so are we. |
| the gibbous moon | louder | The moon is nearly full. Turning it up. |
| the full moon | louder | Full moon. Everything out loud tonight. |
| the waning gibbous | as it is | The moon is spilling over. Pass it on. |
| the last quarter | as it is | Last quarter. Clearing the shelves. |
| the dark crescent | quieter | The dark crescent. Slow records, low lights, nearly new. |

Every song played is reported and paid to the people who made it.
Nobody picks the next song, and what is coming is never announced. That is the licence, and also the fun.
No religious music. Holiday songs only in December.
Artists can send their music in, and we listen to all of it.
