Automatic 7 which might be adjusted upon further listening. I really appreciate RP playing new music to keep me from getting stale in my taste. Not just 'new to me' which happens often, but also brand new stuff. Bill and Rebecca must just be tireless, I can't believe I've been listening since 1997, (longer than this account's age).
I think RP has only been around since February, 2000.
I think I've been listening since about 2004.
Plus, they're growing.

I've been listening since '01
This sounds interesting, too at first listen.
I wish I knew more about those first few months. Who was listening? Are there any recordings of those early music sets?
I was there since the beginning.... found RP under "Eclectic" category on iTunes free stations. RP quickly became the background elixir to inspire creativity at the ad agency I was Creative Director at. We all discovered what would soon be our favorite artists by having RP on throughout the work day. No commercials and stuff you couldn't hear on any single AM/FM station. "Streaming" was a brand new concept and you got billed for how many megabytes per month you used. It was worth it.
