Please list a couple stations that do "hours" of infomercials, and
then point me to some of the Station websites, so I can check it out
for myself. This is a whole new phenomenon to me, because I've never
heard anything like that locally (neither on FM Music, nor AM Talk).

Thanks.


Alot of the big time stations run infomertials before 5AM. On weekends,
they could show up at almost any time. The smaller brokered stations often
run the hours and hours of infomertials.

Radio infomertials aren't usually like the Ron Popiel sort of TV
informertial. They often masquerade as real call-in shows, but the fake
callers are talking about the benefits of a particular investment or hair
restorer or something like that.

I have no idea if these radio informertials are available on the net. After
all, downloading a fake call-in show would destroy the illusion, wouldn't
it?

Uh.... no. Almost all radio stations offer "listen live" over the
internet. Pick your favorite station, type in its call letters.com,
and see if they have a stream. For example: WBAL.com has a live
stream of their station in real time.

[edit]

I just checked-out a couple (5) AM stations (4:30 am california time)
and none of them were playing infomercials. So please give me some
call letters of stations you know with certainty will play
infomercials, and I'll check them out myself.

WIND AM 560 has an informertial for some sort of health food pills right
now.

I'll probably be over by 8:00 am Chicago time.
