Bull****! You have to endure commercials. That ain't free, babe.- Hide quoted text -

Commercials are part of the entertainment. Really - especially on a
local small town station - where those still exist -- you have to have
the right view point on all of this - commercials are just as
important as the content - and not just to the advertisers. !!!!!!!
You can always pop in a CD and get the music part or turn on a TV and
get the sports part. Or read a newspaper.

While driving?

We have a local station here and they easily run 3 times as many
commercials as the L. A. stations. Every commercial is the same:
instrumental bacground, ****tily written copy, blah, blah.

Commercials are an insult to my intelligence. They are the aural
equivalent of billboards along an otherwise pristine highway.
Commercial radio sucks. Public broadcasting with the semi-annual
beg-a-thon sucks. Subscription radio for those willing to pay and
goverment subsidised news (e.g. BBC World Service) to insure democracy
survives. If the radio is so bad only yakes listen, then we will be a
nation of yakes.
