[BC] Two Commercial Free Hours,On WABC

[First Step Productions - Dave Golterman]

I just read the article in the New York Post...What are these guys 
thinking?  When you're in the business of selling airtime for 
commercials, why in the heck would you do something that reinforces the 
belief that all commercials are bad!!!!!

For that same reason I've always hated hearing stations promote 
commercial free music sweeps, commercial free hours etc.

Just yesterday a friend told me about the station she listens to in 
Melbourne, Australia, Nova 100.  Their website ( 
http://www.nova100.com.au/novaMain.aspx ) promises "never more than 2 
ads in a row".  I haven't listened closely enough to count the 
commercial load, but it doesn't seems like it's very light.  Maybe some 
US programmers will check this out and give it a try here.
