Abstract
In this paper we propose to apply emergent collective behavior ideas to automatically program Internet multichannel radio stations. The proposed model simulates n virtual Dj’s (one per channel) playing songs at the same time. Every virtual Dj takes into account the songs played by the other ones, programming a sequence of songs whose order is also coherent. That is, every song played in a channel takes into account both, the song previously played in the same channel and the songs being played in the other channels at the same time.
