I would love for them to go NPR style on ads. If you listen to an NPR radio station (at least here in my area), basically anyone can run a radio ad, but it has to be about 10 seconds max and it is delivered by the on-air personality. "Npr would like to thank Bob's Hot Dogs, Bobs hot dogs deliver an excellent dog at an excellent price, find out more at bobdogs.com"
Replace the brand there with yours and that's what you get. No contextual bs, no crazy logos or statements, just a simple word from a sponsor.
- jrochkind1 5y agoYes, but unfortunately public radio isn't always as good about this anymore as one would wish or as they used to, either. National "NPR" may be better. But our local NPR "affiliate" has whole shows that are really pay-to-play. :( https://www.baltimoresun.com/citypaper/bcp-why-so-much-pr-wypr-seems-to-routinely-trade-underwriting-for-air-time-is-that-a-problem-20150310-story.html https://www.baltimoresun.com/citypaper/bcp-why-so-much-pr-wy...
- nescioquid 5y agoAgreed, and I'd even contend that public media dependence on commercial advertisement is a problem. I'd much prefer to see public funding for public media restored. Maybe Mozilla needs to do a pledge drive, instead. I had used Mozilla products for many years before I even realized they accepted charitable donations.
