I must have been born under a dark cloud when it comes to radio listening. And while it's not a huge deal, it's really starting to annoy me. After a few months of monitoring this, I've noticed that whenever I turn on the radio, I seem to hit a cluster of commercials. Either they're throwing to break or they're in the middle of one. I'd say it happens a good 90% of the time. 

I never seem to hit actual programming, even though an average station has more content than spots. 

I'd make this a drinking game, but then I could never leave the house! (And those who listen to CBC Radio, which has no spots, are not eligible!) 
 
Maybe this is all just bad luck and bad timing. But it happens so often, I've begun to notice it as a definite pattern. It's not the stations' fault, nor is it mine. It just seems to occur over and over and over by random chance. Does this happen to anyone else? 

We'll have a response to this post right after we pause for this...
