Unfortunately very few.  We still try at the station I
work for, to varying degrees of success.  To be
honest, lack of artist separation is more troublesome
to me these days than product separation.

Comcast in Brattleboro has gotten better in recent
months.  There's still the timing issue, but at least
the audio is consistent (T-W in Orange MA seems to
have no clue when it comes to audio levels).  And it
took them a while, but Comcast finally got all of the
old Adelphia promos out of rotation.
