I listen to liberal talk radio via the net all the time. Why do some

[napi21]

stations go silent when a local ad is aired, and some do not?

I was once told that it had something to do with local advertisers only paying for local coverage, and I accept that, but some stations air everything. Why is there a differenc?

It drives me nuts with the ones that go silent! I keep thinking I've lost the stream!!!

1. If you stream on AAR site it doesn't go silent.

2. Silence Rules

I don't need sound 24/7.

5. I do stream AAR for most shows, but I do Oregon radio, Calif.

after midnight, and a Pgh. station in the morning. The PGh station and the Oregon station don't go silent, nor does the AAR, but the Calif one does, and they have a LOT of commercials!

BTW, I also get the silent treatment when I listen to Steeler football on Sundays.

3. Maybe they are actually playing ...

a shorter version (dance remix ?) of John Cages 4'13" (or it might actually be called 4'33"
