will--repetition is basic to the analyses of fascism that look to the role of radio as an ideological mechanism that assured regular turnover/adaptation of Official Attitudes and a running co-ordination between audience and state (in addition creating/reinforcing the sense of immediate identification with the nation-in-motion expressed through the real volk who ran the state)....it's not new the idea that repetition is a powerful conditioning tool. check out pascal's wager sometime.
now i'm curious about this, tho--apart from the considerable literature on the role of radio in the rwanda genocide (sobering stuff to read about if you haven't)---i'll poke around for stuff on repetition and conditioning in the communications database i run for my day gig....
