Mark Simone.

Can't deny it.

He is Mr. New York.

On 710 W.O.R.

Hey, let's take some calls.

We'll go to Randall in Maryland.

Randall, how you doing?

Good, Mark.

Maybe you can clear something up for me.

I thought I'd call the smartest guy I know.

All these PSA commercials I see on television, and it's always the Ad Council.

Yeah.

What exactly is that?

Oh, the Ad Council, the Advertising Council, that's one of those organizations that raises a lot of money and runs a lot of

ads there's a lot of these organizations they're very nice people i don't know what they actually

accomplish with any of this but uh they do fundraisers and they uh just that's the ad council they

advertise everywhere and they're very important not so much to us because we sell out all our commercial breaks and they're filled with commercials. But there's a lot of stations where they can't sell the whole break, so they have to fill it with PSAs. And there's the ad council. Always give you a bunch of PSAs when you don't have enough commercials. So that's why if you're listening to a station, and in the middle of the long commercial break you hear,

too many promos, too many PSAs, little features,

it means they couldn't sell the commercials.

Let's go to Kathy, North Carolina.

Kathy, how you doing?

Hi, Mark.
