When I left FM radio, it was a wasteland of narrow playlists, non-stop annoying ads and the constant yakking of the "DJs" who were all trying to become the next Howard Stern.

Don't hold me to it but I could swear the last time I listened to FM radio the time spent in commercials equaled the music broadcast time. I recall it was during the evening commute window.

It is. Literally. I’ve been working on a special project in the garage and tried to listen to an FM station. They would play 10 minutes of repeated tracks then 10+ minutes of commercials. They had maybe 30 songs they repeated. I had to turn it off.
