I am SOOOOO thankful that we have our public broadcaster -- no
advertisements except for the occasional promo on their radio and
TV programs -- and the Special Broadcasting Service which started
out as a purely ethnic service (radio and TV) where the adverts
are always at the END of a program, not interrupting it like the
purely commercial TV does.

And many of our commercial radio stations still have good music
that is NOT stomped all over.
