Fewer Commercials? Yes, at the E.I.B.
Clear Channel Communications has apparently decided that there are too many commercials on their programming for their own good. I posted on this last September noting the ever increasing number of ads on TV and radio.
Starting this week, Rush Limbaugh now has about 3 minutes more content per hour, to about 39 minutes per hour. Rush says this is a reduction in local spots, not his filthy lucre. Regardless, this is a day I thought would never come, a reversal of the long slide to 50% content.
Since I subscribe to both Rush Limbaugh's and Dennis Prager's web services, I can report that for hour one yesterday, Prager ran 35 minutes as usual, Rush 39 minutes. It's Salem's turn now. They can't be getting much for Hugh Hewitt's incessant pleading that we buy Iraqi currency anyway, so how about a little more real Hugh Hewitt?
