Mr. New York.

Mark Simone on W-O-R.

Hey, we'll take some calls.

800, 3-2-1-0-7-10 is the number.

800, 3-2-1-0-7-10.

You know, I'm reading all these emails.

We get a lot of emails sometimes from listeners.

They love the show. But it'll say, I love the show. But so many commercials. Why do you have so many

commercials? Well, we have a big problem here. We're like the highest rated show. We have the

biggest ratings. And when you get those kind of ratings, you can raise

the rates and the commercials. And when you can charge a lot of money for the commercials, we have a

sales department downstairs. The whole fifth floor, there's thousands of desks there. And when you get

big ratings and you can sell the commercials, you go down there, they're all sitting and going

you could go down there, they're all sitting and going,

you could go down there and say, hey, you know, I think it's too many commercials.

So there's really not much you can do it.

Now, you might say, and sometimes in the email say, well, you know, I listen to this other show and they don't have that many.

They make sure the breaks are not more than a minute or two.

They're not making sure of that.

That's all they can sell.

They don't have the ratings.

It's not their sales department is not sitting there with great principles saying we refuse to have a break more than two.
