Clear Channel to enhance radio ads with RDS

[tony schinella]

Well, technically, the Naderites are right and as we have all seen, other
motorist distractions, like the stereo dials, food, kids in the car, etc.,
have caused more accidents than cell phones. I think this idea is a bad one
and I don't think it will work.

Best,
