Since a listener could tune in any time during the commercial, wouldn't it be logical to place a disclaimer at the end?  where it is more likely to be heard?

Like a political ad?  "Paid for by ADM"?  That would work as well.  But I'd like to return to one of my original questions.  Since I can't hear Sullivan's broadcasts my question is does anyone know if Sullivan told his listeners during his product endorsement pitches that he wasn't sure that the product was working?  Or where his comments to that effect made only to the newspaper designed as damage control?
