What Makes You Switch to Another Radio Station?

Too many ads, bad DJ, boring music, or signal issues are the things that make people switch to another station. But for me, I think it's too many ads. If the station is playing 10 minutes of adverts in-between every 2 songs, I will change stations very quickly. What about you?

Honestly, too many ads would make me switch too. Nothing kills the mood like getting interrupted just when you're enjoying a good song. A radio station needs to balance making money with keeping listeners entertained.

Yes, having too many ads is the number one station killer. You are enjoying a song, the beat is getting more interesting, then next thing, the advert starts to disrupt it. By the time the music return, you’ve lost the vibe.
