That's definitely a pet hate of mine, the far-too-long ads for the
indescribably banal breakfast show, even during the non-mainstream
programs. A few emails to andy.parfitt@... are required, methinks.
And said emails could also mention the bizarre lack of adverts during
the daytime for the much less well known shows (surely the ones that
need advertising), such as, well, anything on after 8pm.
