+ Advertising During Your Free Pandora Broadcast By admin 22 January 2009 at 8:42 pm and have No Comments

The free Internet broadcaster Pandora is now adding 15 seconds commercials to your playlist. The advertising campaign is only targeted to certain listeners. After about 10 songs you will hear a commercial for the new show on Fox called “Lie to Me”, you will hear it again after another 20 songs gets played. So if you are on of the lucky listeners that is targeted expect to hear a commercial every 2 hours.

You know what they say nothing in life is free so why would Internet radio be any different. I will still use Pandora because there is nothing else that can make a playlist like Pandora can. And maybe the commercials might work and i will end up watching that new show on Fox.
