The ad clock on the Bauer stations seems to be standard for all their stations. The breaks are all far too long, the TOTH starts at about xx:55 - so there's 8 minutes between songs

Problem is that Global's clock is virtually the same, the ads come on and you go flicking around and every station on the 'dial' is ads, except for the BBC of course.

It's for this reason I stopped listening to the Absolute stations once the reduced ads when you sign up for a free account promo ended.

The length, placement and repetition of ads makes the station torturous to listen to over the course of the day.

Global's jukebox stations, like Radio X Classic Rock and Smooth Chill, seem to have one break at the TOTH, making them my go to background stations.
