Well it's about time someone tried something radically different with radio. Clear Channel is testing out commercial free radio with an hourly "sponsor". Commercial's were one of my biggest complaints against radio and it's the main reason why I bought my Sirius satellite radio. I got tired of listening to 20 minutes of commercials, have the morning guy talk for 10 minutes, followed by another 20 minutes of commercials. I'm not exaggerating either, I timed it once.
Granted, commercial radio has to be paid for from somewhere, but 20 minutes per hour or more is ridiculous. Will this help terrestrial radio get back it's audience? Only time will tell, but I have to tell you that I cannot see a reason why I wouldn't switch back. The satellite folks seem to get it right the first time. I get to listen to any genre of music I like without commercials. Personally, I like Raw Dog comedy on channel 104 if anyone is curious. However, it's uncensored comedy, so it might not be your cup of tea. :) God, I sound like a commercial. :)
