Glad you agree. On TV, in one hour, there are sometimes even as
much as 8 interrupts for ads. Almost half about cars !!

On SW, in those days (late 1980's) it was a pleasure to
listen to commercials as they were so rare.

I have listened to some very rare Gems such as Radio Mangolia or
Radio Ulan Bator, Radio Pyong Yang etc., etc., Clandestine
broadcasts were not that many.

However, as TV was still expensive and SW Radio within common
reach, almost a huge majority of the Indian Population in cities
had and listened to SW Radio.
