TuneIn Pro and Interruptions for Sponsor's Announcements
Greetings to the list. This morning, I was listening to a Chicago radio station via TuneIn Pro. Before the stream started, I heard an announcement about the stream's co-sponsor. At about the fifty-five-minute mark of the stream, the music was suddenly interrupted, and I heard the same announcement repeated over and over until about the one-hour mark, when the stream resumed. Are such interruptions common with Internet radio? Any way they can be bypassed? I suspect the answer is no. Thank you for all help.

Re: TuneIn Pro and Interruptions for Sponsor's Announcements
I listen to a local Austin news station in the morning when getting ready for work, and often hear these sorts of announcements, often repeated too. I suspect that the online stream is different from what the regular listener to the radio is hearing. I often hear the announcements start at the 55 minute mark and they continue for about 10 minutes, preimpting the hourly news from the network. I find this very annoying since there are times I want to hear the national news, but I don't think there's anything I can do. Sometimes the stream will be several minutes behind what the radio is airring, and the only way to solve this is to stop the stream, wait a few seconds, and then start it again. This is another annoying thing with listening to TuneIn, but it may not be exclusive to this app though. Wayne On 10/30/12, Craig Werner coffeeb...@gmail.com wrote: Greetings to the list.

Re: TuneIn Pro and Interruptions for Sponsor's Announcements
I suspect this is the stream and not the app at all. I find this to be the case with local radio stations in this area as well. However, the difference is I am not using TUneIn in this particular case. So, I believe there are ads that you are being exposed to that are not necessarily the same as if you are listening over the air.

Re: TuneIn Pro and Interruptions for Sponsor's Announcements
No, those cannot be bypassed. They are often used to block local advertisements which are going out over the air. Many companies now require this so that people in different markets do not learn about area-specific targeted pricing for products.

Re: TuneIn Pro and Interruptions for Sponsor's Announcements
I thought those local advertisements were blocked due to contractual agreements with the agencies and actors that produced those commercials, i.e. they were paid to produce a local commercial and not a national commercial. I could be wrong though, and I don't care enough about the issue myself to look it up myself. On 30/10/12 21:42, David Chittenden wrote: No, those cannot be bypassed.

I suspect it's a bit of both.
