The big UK radio stations, such as Radio 1 and 2, spend buckets on audience research, and testing music on particular age groups and the like. In many stations, the order the music appears in is also worked out in great detail (some tunes are more powerful than others, and so 'start the hour') and the playlists can be changed because of the seasons - lots of surfing and sunshine music during the summer, for example.
Some very specialist music programmes allow their presenters - who could be themselves specialists - to choose the music.
But generally, music is chosen by audience research, the station producers and the playlists specialists, not the presenters.

No they use radioman..its a computer that automatically chooses the music..the presenter can change tracks around and put tracks in...there are about 5,000 songs stored in the memory and they are selected randomly. Thats what we do in local radio and i understand its the same in national radio

Im pretty sure the presenter has input- he prob goes over his playlist with the station manager and then if it needs any editing then this is sorted prior to going on air
