I know the GM in Phoenix and he told me that these are genuine, real 
commercials from people who just like the format; but another important 
factor is that the station has been very quick to develop its own local 
talent, sending them out all over the place.  The station has a very strong 
presence in the market, and is more than just syndicatioin or satellite 
feed.  I think that local identity has a lot to do with it.
