Just out of curiosity, was the 2:45 end of the show followed by a 15 minute commercial break (if you want to call that a "break") before the next show at 3:00?
18 minute commercial "breaks" are not unusual during Howard Stern. I think if I were an advertiser in any other shift other than Stern, I'd be really upset if I were in a break longer than six minutes. Who is going to listen to all of those commercials in a row?

Not me. I heard the end of the stern show on Wednesday and was floored by how long the stop sets were. All that does is just invite the average listener to tune out of your station. What a joke of a set up, why not just spread those stop sets out during the show.

And there you have a big reason Infinity is embracing FM Talk. There's a ton more inventory available. This, along with the prime demographics, is why you'll often see Hot Talkers and Sports Talkers among a market's top billers, even though their ratings aren't that impressive. It's worked for years on stations like New York's WFAN and DC's WJFK.
It's interesting to see the divergence in the top 2 radio owners' strategies: Clear Channel tell us less is more and aims for 30 second commercials and 3 minute stopsets. Infinity's doing the exact opposite, expanding it's inventory to almost 30 minutes each hour on Talk stations.
I think Clear Channel's got it right. I can't get into FM Talk because the commercial load just kills it for me. Infinity is going to run up against the law of diminishing returns when no one wants to be the 10th spot in a break. It's going to be glaringly obvious once Arbitron starts using PPMs.
FM Talk isn't a bad idea. It's the way Infinity is executing it, with "Free-FM" branding and 15 minute spot breaks, that's going to be a failure.

This must be the same Phuckin retard who hit this board with all of that shameless promotion of Kidd Chris. I do have one thing to add though. What I have to say holds true for the bunch of pinheads who call in to Preston and steve just to say "you guys rock". Well, TALK DOESN"T ROCK. Not Preston & Steve, and certainly not Kidd Chris, who's show has no point...it is just a couple of hours where him and a few dicks all ramble on about nothing that is interesting or entertaining.

Stern is the one who usually ends the show whenever the mood strikes him. Technically Stern ends at about 10:00. Barsky and company are supposed to go from 10:00 to 3:00. Kidd Self Promotion is 3:00 - 7:00. Couzin Ed is 7:00 - 10:00, and Matt and HugMe are 10:00 to 2:00am.
