I get it. I really do. Newspapers, radio and TV all fail without ads. Some magazines have already failed because they could not attract enough advertising.

In the past decade or so, newspapers have started having problems. This even includes the New York Times. Most of us listen to radio, watch TV and or rely on social media.

Due to a lack of choice, I listen to WREC radio in Memphis for news. I am not all that pleased with the way things are going, but it is about all I have. TV news here is horribly biased. Newspapers have no real news and I no longer have cable.

I grit my teeth and put up with that ads on WREC, though I frequently turn the volume down for some of them. They were irritating to begin with but the repitition has become most annoying.

They keep advertising a 67 song and a couple of Jefferson Airplanes songs. Here lately, I have been wondering what they are advertising. Just what is it that they want me to buy. How many times do they think they have to repeat the exact same thing before they will convince me to buy what they are selling.

I know they do need the advertising money. I just wonder, for what purpose if I haven’t a clue what they are advertising.

Don’t think it much matters. Don’t think I’ll be buying much of it anyway. Right now, I am surviving well without it. I don’t think I’ll miss it much, especially if I know not what they are advertising.
