I think that talk radio is like the local TV morning news programs in that
both are heavy with commercials.  I have always suspected that our local TV
stations increased the hours they have news on for the specific purpose of
selling more commercial time vs. what they could sell with syndicated old
TV shows.

The FM rock and roll stations in this area seemed to start following suit
several years before streaming became big.  Seemed to happen right before
sattelite radios became standard in vehicles.
