A bit of clarification .... there might only be a few Wagner operas/music dramas each year, but they might still tot up a lot of hours. Verdi might do better, as his operas might be considered to be lots of little bits joined together - giving a higher occurrence count.

Andrew's "Printable Listings" Thread each week contains a link to an Archive, where you can type in the name of any composer you like, and discover how many times his/her work has featured over the past up-to 400 days. Typing in "Vaughan Williams", for example, we discover that his Music has featured 338 times over the past 300 days - including six broadcasts of the Scherzo from the London Symphony:

We also learn that Debussy's Feu d'Artifice was broadcast 14 times, l'Isle Joyeux 20 times (thrice in the Molinari orchestration - 14 of the broadcasts were during either Breakfast or Essentially Crassic ); and La Mer 16 times in full, with 12 further broadcasts of individual movements. So 62 out of 800 broadcasts - which isn't quite Heldy's "70%" (I hope nobody took him up on his bet!) but still showing a considerable lack of imagination from the various producers. (29 Faun's afternoon capers - mostly, ironically, broadcast before noon - making that the most frequently broadcast of Claude's output. The Girl had her flaxen hair done 15 times.)[FONT=Comic Sans MS][I][B]Numquam Satis![/B][/I][/FONT]
