I once turned on Stern on the way to work and listened to nothing but commericals from 8:40 to 9:00.)

Yep, Infinity stations are notorious for loading their talk-format shows with commercials. I was a regular O&A listener, and they'd have ten-minute blocks filled with ads for all sorts of oddball products, and joke about it when they got back on the air.
(O&A _will_ be back, sooner or later. They still have a huge fan base, and since that fan base wasn't the group offended by the Sex-for-Sam 3 stunt, someone will put them back on the air eventually to exploit that fan base. I call it the Marion Barry Reelection Principle.)
