The 8% rule of Rock

Live 105 is a radio station in the SF Bay Area. I've methodically calculated the percent chance you have of hearing new music at any given moment on the station. Here is the break down:

• Commercial - 50%
  
• A song that wasn't recorded in the last ten years - 40%
  
• New music - 10%
  
• Chance that new music is Icky Thump by the White Stripes - 2%

So at any given moment, your chances of hearing a new song that isn't Icky Thump is 8%.

Moral of the story: It's time for me to invest in satellite radio.
