A radio DJ is not a job I would relish. Not only do they have to keep putting the needle on the records (do they still do that?), but they have to think about those gaps in between where the listener has to be entertained, informed and enlightened.
You will have noticed the regular 'features' in radio shows that are employed to fill the time, thereby reducing the amount of imaginative stuff that is required to pad them out. I also think that although some of these features are pretty weak, we get used to them, even to the extent that we 'like' them...or maybe we just endure them.
However, I think the thing that makes one DJ standout from the others is 'delivery'. The way they make even the most dull format sound interesting, and get enthusiastic about the most mundane topics. You probably know the ones I mean, and not usually found on local radio stations.
