until about a month ago, when I turned on Sonos to listen to a radio station, all I heard was ‘welcome to tunein’, then the station started playing. Now I get 2 mins of tunein ads, followed by local ads. I just want to listen to the radio. During the day it will restart with these ads 3-4 times. It’s doing my head in and I’m now at the point of ditching Sonos altogether and getting something else. What have others experienced/done?

I get a preliminary advert from some stations, and nothing from others I listen to.
I assume it’s a station’s choice regarding the adverts, and that whatever platform I listen on (Sonos or other) I’ll get adverts from some of them.
Sonos doesn’t, to my knowledge, insert ads on any ‘streams’ other than those indicated as Sonos Radio, and I’m not even sure about those. TuneIn’s model for revenue to pay for being a conglomeration of all those various radio stations depends on that, for a large part. There are quite a few engineers that work at TuneIn, or were several years ago, when I was in SF, and semi co-located with them (they were just up the street in SOMA, near the ballpark). I had several friends in various positions in that company.
