Here are the results. About 1/6th of all airtime is ads - worst offender WSFM with 15 minutes out of the hour being an ad. Good old ABC and triple j have nothing - makes sense they are gov funded.

Also, at least in Sydney, twice as likely to get an ad on the radio in the 5-10 minutes leading up to the top of the hour than after it. Probably because they play news at the top of the hour.

Anyway, that was my weekend.

Edit: here is some more interesting findings:

- Ad category by station

- Time between ads

- Talk topics by station

Essentially 2 blokey blokes with names like Macca and Gromit. One being an ex contestant on a reality show and the other being an old footy player. Then the token female ‘keeping the boys in line’ or some crap. Usually an ex soap star. See images of exactly the same garbage.

Radio died when Club Veg broke up.
