I timed 3 episodes this week. Right now, I came up with:

9:30, 10:10; 9:45; 10:08; 8:50; 10:20

So it seems to vary. I'd say that a big part of it is how you define the break. So, in some of these, when he "reads" the commercial and they yak about it, I count that. But when they do a bit or a song coming in/out, I'm not counting that.

But I never came close to 15 minutes. Plus, we're having more periods were we go a long time without a break at all; twice this week, we went 60+ minutes before a break at all.

Is it more then it was? Yes. Is it way less then regular radio? Yep.

Hell, putting aside Stern, you know SIRI has to be loving that ad revenue from Stern continues to increase in value, which is a part of what has helped put them in the black - and nothing wrong with that.
