I like radio, but for myself, the commercials were finally the end of radio as I knew it. I’ve switched over to Sirius/XM, unless something drastic occurs I will just pay a yearly fee to listen to it. Otherwise I’m going commercial Free and as a MAJOR bonus I won’t have to listen to Obama again on the ‘news’.

"I like radio, but for myself, the commercials were finally the end of radio as I knew it."

Pretty much the only radio I listen to is the local sports radio channel, and I am amazed how many commercials they run. I'd guess that about 75% of the time I turn on the radio, there is a commercial playing. And the commercial breaks sometimes seem to extend for 5-7 minutes. I don't know what the facts are, but it seems that commercials consume about 50% of the air time.
