Agreed, I have noticed a difference with stations around my area cramming in a ton of commercials as of late, which never used to be the case. After listening to the stations, I would estimate it is now 70/30 content:ads, whereas before it was 95/5.
I am thinking about switching over to satellite radio as well, I have heard many good things.
