I'm pretty sure the DJs in my area record a bunch of inserts and bits ahead of time, those get edited and sliced up, and then put into the playlist at the correct positions. So I don't think they're sitting in the booth listening to the music live, and then talking in between, like they used to anymore. So that's probably how they don't get bored, they didn't even hear the music last Friday when they laid down the week's schedule.

GeorgeFM doesn't. It plays great music, they have segments during the weekend with a bunch of stuff you've never heard. It's great. You can get it on the Rova app I think
I don't believe there are still human DJs. It's been automated for years.
