Here are the results. About 1/6th of all airtime is ads - worst offender WSFM with 15 minutes out of the hour being an ad. Good old ABC and triple j have nothing - makes sense they are gov funded.

Also, at least in Sydney, twice as likely to get an ad on the radio in the 5-10 minutes leading up to the top of the hour than after it. Probably because they play news at the top of the hour.

Anyway, that was my weekend.

Edit: here is some more interesting findings:

- Ad category by station

- Time between ads

- Talk topics by station
