It's a common misconception about radio that radio stations themselves perpetuate. Even so-called "request" shows that are designed to solicit requests very rarely play back the calls for any of the requests for songs they weren't actually already preparing to play.
Some weekend and specialty shows have some leverage... depending on format... but not really much thought they'll tell you otherwise.
If I were able to play want I wanted to for X-mas, I would have played this (http://www.stunned.org/Christmas_Sucks.mp3)!
You'd think, given that management knew they would be making these staff cuts after the holiday, they would've allowed me to play it when I've asked to for the past two years. heh
