I don't listen to BTLS nearly as much anymore, as I can't stand the amount of advertising (with many commercial breaks, and then endless hawking of one product or another). But today took the cake. On a short 15 minute ride to the grocery store, I heard exactly 1 minute of Bubba, and 14 minutes of straight bullshit. I flipped to 101 as soon as I got in the car - commercials. Then, about halfway to the store, I switched back, expecting the ads to be over - still commercials. Finally, as I pull into the lot of the store, I switched back again, to hear the end of an ad for the latest Bubba box set, and finally the show. By that time, I shut off the radio.

Sirius is really pushing their luck here.

Bubba's show had a problem today and went off the air at least twice, and went to commercials. It happened to be during the period you were listening. Here's a thread about it...
