The medium is dead and this is the only way to keep the lights on at this point. The only hangers on are diehard Flames fans and even at that rate I can't take more than 15 minutes of it at once. In that short span you are bound to get 5 minutes of gambling, an unwanted news update about nothing important you don't already know, and then a lengthy break to commercial.
I'll take a podcast with maybe 2-3 minutes of spot placements in an hour-two hour segment any day of the week. It's too bad it has gotten to this point that it is unlistenable, but what should we expect when they have no budget to work with to hire and retain quality staff for segments beyond the drive to and from work?
