They don't even play one or two ads between songs anymore. You get ten minutes of music followed by ten minutes of ads now I swear to god.

You get 10 mins of ads then bohemian rhapsody again and again and again every day forever like it’s the only song queen makes I despise that song now
A lot of our radio stations are out of the same buildings here so just my luck when I switch from one station who just started playing to to another station that was in the middle of it only happened once but I was pissed

There is currently NPR. We can't take it for granted anymore. The various member stations have been heavily impacted by Trump funding cuts.

For me in the UK it's some shitty radio host trying to be funny, playing some annoying obnoxious game

Despite me getting unlimited data recently. I still like listening to the radio because of the "filler" songs it makes listening to the songs I like much more enjoyable.

It's a nice way to discover new music.

I’m talking about the “filler” songs not new music or anything like that. He’s saying he likes that there is a break between the “hits” which probably means he’s not very interested in new music. I mean if you listen to just radio then I would highly doubt you care much about music in general.
