3. Stream.
No Randi just, oh about 25 minutes, of straight commercials.
Where are you listening?
AAR in San Diego does not play Randi.
Anyone else getting commercials via stream?

Maybe your stream is stuck or something.

5. I just closed the Realpalyer window and went back to the AAR page.
Clicked on Randi's window, AGAIN, and now it works.
WTF?

8. I was surprised to hear the WSJ ad
Did think it bodes well for AAR, that the "market" is taking it seriously enough that "blue-chip" clients are advertising.

On the other hand... it's still surprising to hear WSJ ad on AAR.

9. How about the "ABC Evening News/Peter Jennings" ad last week?
On Randi's show last week, I heard an ABC World News/Peter Jennings ad...urging people to listen! It was the first time I ever recall hearing an ABC/Peter Jennings ad on AAR, and found it so offensive, given PJ's right-leaning news coverage...I emailed AAR right away questioning it.

NO one replied.:think:
