I expect this question has been asked before, but I don't remember.

If you subscribe to ad free for a radio station online, what happens
to the time when the ads are running? Do they increase the number of
tracks played? If so, does this mean the presentation is no longer
live, or alternatively is the presentation live on ad-free but delayed
on the broadcast version? Or maybe they play an excerpt from a track
of exactly the duration of the ads, which would be infuriating.

On Bauer's version (aka Jazz FM, Absolute, Scala, GHR, etc) they play an
extra track instead of the ad breaks. If you skip a track, they drop in another, and you rejoin at the start of the next 'live' track.

Try it, there's a month's free trial.

Thanks. It is Bauer. What used to be called 'Clyde 2' is now
'Greatest Hits Radio, Glasgow and the West'.

I suppose the easiest way to find out is to try it and see.

All of the above depending on the service I think. Often they have station promos timed to fit the hole.

But most of their shows are voice tracked in the first place.
