If you're near NY/NJ and prefer the ad-free experience, a simple transistor radio at home works great. 88.3 FM comes in crystal clear: www.amazon.com/dp/B07XQ325Y3

I hope the limited income the board brings in by turning to commercial ads on the livestream compensates for those listeners who will never donate again, as a result.

I'm tuning to 88.3 FM from now on because WBGO started running programmatic commercial ads on the livestream, replacing its own underwriting spots.

Why is wbgo playing ads?? They are a public radio station. KFC, Macy’s, and capital one. Did some regulation change for public radio stations?

WBGOjazz.bsky.social confirmed ads in IG comment. No notice to listeners, members. No email. Nothing on air. Nothing on site. The "statement" never explains transparency issue and contradicts their own site about underwriting vs. commercials. Major change rolled out in silence.

@wbgojazz.bsky.social, a public jazz station in Newark, NJ, just played an entire ad for eBay. Not an underwriting card. An actual ad, indistinguishable from commercial radio.
I hope @wbgojazz.bsky.social makes a lot of $$$ from this decision. It makes me less, not more willing to donate.

And that’s that for the Yankees. One night after a thrilling comeback from down five runs, they couldn’t muster a second one. The Blue Jays beat them 11 times in 17 games this season, and they move on to the ALCS to face the winner of Mariners/Tigers.
