It’s mostly commercials with news propaganda breaks.

I’ve noticed with the talk shows that they have longer commercial breaks than they used to.

It sounds like the host will come on after the news at the top of the hour, talk for about 10 minutes,, then we have a 5-minute commercial break . Then 10 more minutes take a couple of listener calls, and then five more minutes of commercial breaks.

I know radio stations make their money from selling commercial time, but I wonder if you reach the point of diminishing returns. I find it distracting to have so many commercial breaks.

“”It’s mostly commercials with news propaganda breaks.””

It is called greed and why I had to give up talk radio many years ago.

Modern America is always trying to squeeze out just one more dollar, just a smidgen more, instead of seeking a pleasing balance between profit and customer satisfaction.

I listen to Mark Davis on KSKY on my morning commute. Why? I don’t know.

He’s actually on the air 10-12 minutes out of every half hour. The rest is commercials with an occasional traffic update.

The rest of the time is top of the hour news on Fox, then over to The Fan, I can’t stand these mental midgets for more than 90 seconds.

I’m seriously glad to arrive at work.
