That bit about Clear Channel Radio Group limiting the amount of commercials they'll play each hour on the opening page...
Is this supposed to be earth shakin' news? Every station I've worked at had a stated limit... and that's going back some!
Now--- tell me that they'll only play one minute worth of commercials each hour- and that they'll derive all their monthly revenues off this one commercial an hour... and I'll be amazed.
Of course the rate for that one commercial would have to be a doozey!
People keep forgettin' that "tha's how a radio station stays afloat"... playing ads!
Listening to NPR on HPR lately I swear I hear honest to goodness thirty second commercials... playing on what's supposed to be a commercial free radio station... am I wrong?
It's probably hidden under the label "underwriting"... but they sure sound like commercials to me.
Great of Clear Channel to see the error in their ways though... and voluntarily cut back on their revenue :-)... or could this just be a ploy to perhaps draw listeners... hmmmmmmm
What you tink?
