Back in the bad ol days of radio, you remember when there was such a
thing as standards and practices and quality control.  We used to have to
leave 10 to 15 minutes between competing ads....never ever run them in
the same break!   But I guess times have changed but I will tell you
this, if I were the car dealers in position 2 through 6 I would have been
on the horn to my sales dog demanding make goods in prime time!
