Red Eye Radio show as broadcast by their flag station WBAP in Dallas. This is an ADT ad interrupted by an ad for a concert. This happens regularly at WBAP to many other ads. Radio stations now rely heavily on computers and automation to do most of the work. Radio stations these days are really not much more than computers loaded with audio files that play in succession. The problem is that the computers aren't programmed properly and the ads often overlap other ads, resulting in one of the ads being chopped off at some point. Cumulus-owned stations are the worst. I've listened to two Dallas stations owned by Cumulus (KLIF and WBAP) and they play the same ads over and over 24 hours a day. The ones butchered the most are A Place for Mom, ADT and Life Alert. Sometimes WBAP even airs the Red Eye Radio Show (midnight 5 nights a week) at the wrong speed. The radio industry is very hush hush about this widespread problem. Making it known that their advertisers are being short changed is not something they will admit.
