That's pretty arrogant, don't you think? Pfff! Blow off the listener. Good strategy!
It might also be arrogant to demand a personal service on something that makes no money for a station. From their POV, if you're not in their market, you don't show up as a listener. Have you contacted the radio station and complained about their spot repetition? If you don't tell them, how do you expect them to know? Their focus is their local on air signal. Not you listening on someone else's streaming platform. It's not even on their radar.
