By "comparatively little-known compositions", you may be referring to
obscure-and-forgotten pieces by deservedly obscure-and-forgotten composers
who toiled in the 18th- and early 19th-centuries.  When WCRB had a 
functioning website (which, a month-and-a-half after the switch, it still
doesn't although promising to have one SOON) one could peruse the playlist
and see the output of such immortals as Pla, Rathgeber, Zachow, Wagenseil 
and Herschel (actually most remembered for his work in astronomy).  This dreck 
was interspersed with the "classical top-40" as filler, such as in cat food.
It served to dilute the monotony ever so slightly and to give the
"impression" one is hearing classical music (although very few impressionistsic
pieces ever made the playlist.)
