15. I have had XM (which as you know became SiriusXM) since 2007

but I also have the TuneIn app on my cell (back when they had the cheap lifetime sub) and TuneIn has agreements with a lot of OTA stations that stream - which usually or often includes their local commercials (IHeart Radio's app is similar although they are about to go belly up), so it is different from Spotify or Pandora. I know some of the smaller stations use SoundCloud now, where those stations upload their podcasts, including commercials.

Of course the beauty of AM is how far the signal can travel OTA vs FM. For those in a remote area or in areas with sparse or no cell/wifi signal, AM would be a godsend to at least get some rudimentary info if need be.

And yup, I have all sorts of ad blockers too.
