Could this be the reason they keep mentioning aol for broadband a billion times during the show. According to this article they:
***Here's the rub: WWJ internal documents indicate that the deal required newscasters to promote AOL for Broadband as though they were providing editorial endorsements. The on-air talkers were instructed to follow news stories with reminders that streaming video or audio or online chatter on the subject at hand could be had at the ubiquitous AOL for Broadband.***
wwj is a radio station owned by infinity in detroit. The producers are really having trouble following this 15 million dollar deal for ethical reasons.
for a more in depth understanding, here's the link:

whats next a merger between Viacom and AOL/Time Warner? Jesus Christ. This seriously blows. They pimp an inferior production on radio broadcasts. that sucks. Why can't some company come and kick AOL's Ass?

How can ron be the spokesperson at the beggining of the post, and not by the end?

Infinity has no shame.
Whatever happened to running commercials during commercials? now Infinity found a way to pimp out their air talent and turn them into prostitutes.

Easy! He got a better offer from Cablevision.

advertising keeps the boys on the air, what are you going to do? if anything fault the laziness of the advertisers for not put some effort into disguising their attempt to force product down our throats.
the more popular the boys get, the longer ronnie's smoke breaks. look at stern- you can go into the shower at the 1st commercial, take a decent shower, and come back and still not on air.

The title was a joke. I added the disclaimer at the end so there wasn't any confusion.
I don't mind commercials, I just like to know when I'm hearing one. I don't like subliminal messages.

Yep. I don't care if they have to change it to The Ron And Fez and Pepsi Show if it means they stay on the air. Sure I'll whinge later, but for now...

Hey, I'd rather have Ron and Fez do all those commercials, than the regular ones. They always figure out a way to have fun with them. I'd pay thousands of dollars extra to have them do one.
