@KSMountain: the station is owned by lincoln financial, not clear channel.

however, i do remember ads in 2006 shortly after the acquisition proudly stating “the suits don’t pick the music, we do”. have not heard these ads in awhile.

it was also a bit jarring to hear ads for {halloran’s} dog dare without halloran.

but i do recommend big sonic chill in the evenings, if you can get past the repetitiveness of the ads. which is another sign of desperate radio is getting, if they are taking money from people who would normally appear in your spam filter (hair loss treatment, foreclosure fixing). i also notice NPR is sponsored by “constant contact”, which seems to try to do what facebook is doing, but targeted at businesses. i never go to that site, i wonder who does?
