Clearly they think this is crazy talk and that people LIKE padding. The very worst offender is Cousin Brucie- listen to his show, which seems to be on Sixties on Six constantly, and you might get half a dozen songs per hour, wedged between his witless banter and idiot callers.John F Jamelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18351383534436377360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8662171249638416805.post-88029666714794178422017-01-31T15:13:40.844-08:002017-01-31T15:13:40.844-08:00"Just playing music" instead of "bl..."Just playing music" instead of "blithering washed-up DJs" talking over the song intros<br />...one of the few instances where automation actually has merit.Tal Hartsfeldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05077424958233740898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8662171249638416805.post-71019286072301313772017-01-31T13:33:06.854-08:002017-01-31T13:33:06.854-08:00Yes- the only non-commercial stations are a few mu...Yes- the only non-commercial stations are a few music ones, and even they insist on hiring blithering idiot washed up djs instead of just playing music. If right wing and "Top 40" radio didn't dominate the terrestrial stations, it would not be worth it.John F Jamelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18351383534436377360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8662171249638416805.post-58081806434520432802017-01-31T10:02:23.438-08:002017-01-31T10:02:23.438-08:00Sirius/XM has commercials?
