Our local conservative talk radio is on AM and FM, and I'm constantly switching back and forth for the best reception as I drive around doing courier stuff. It's the same commercials over and over. When it gets really bad, there are 2-3 FM rock stations and WNCW out of, yep, Spindale NC.

I listen to talk radio from time to time.

The big one in town has been at it for over 100 years.

They still don't know how to control the volume between the announcements, ads, studio, or guests.

The volume difference between the programming and commercials was nationally outlawed some time ago, but there was no teeth in the law. After a little while it went back to the normal extremely annoying volume increase for commercials. I don't think it's an accident. They probably think that making the commercial too loud will make you buy their stuff, but it has the opposite effect from my pov.
