Actually I despise radio commercials. I realize they need them for revenue, but there has gotten to be way to many of them.

The difference between commericials on TV and commercials on the radio (at least, for me) is that I can flip through channels if a commercial comes on television or through stations if one comes on the radio while I'm in my car. However, the only two places where I really listen to the radio are in my car and at work. At work, since it's within those thick walls of the hospital, I can only get one station, an AM news/talk station. The ads can get really old after hearing them so many times a day.

I like most radio commercials, some of them, especially the ones for the station are actually pretty interesting.

I used to always listen to the all news/talk station WBZ NewsRadio 1030, Boston when I lived south of Boston.

I rarely listen to the radio now, my community has their own radio station. I could listen to some music on it or other stations... but I rarely do.

The Orlando news/talk station (WDBO 580) would be "up my alley," but again I don't turn the radio on much since I've lived in Central Florida.

I used to listen to a lot of talk radio after 9/11 but have stopped listening to it. I don't listen to much of the radio as I used to...

The only time I listen to the radio is when driving, and then only NPR from Southeast Missouri State University...no commercials at all.

This was on an internet radio station talking about Yahoo! Personals. The commercial dealt with false starts to audio greetings such as:

"Hi, I like dogs and animals...a dog is an animal sh...(dialtone)"
