The FCC rules and new national Do-Not-Call list is a great thing!  Among other things....

• Credit card companies can't cold-call you at dinnertime
• Scam companies can't send you junk faxes
• Long distance companies can't interrupt your dinner with cold calls
• Fake surveys that are really trying to sell things are prohibited

However....SOMEBODY with enough pull got an exemption that you DON'T know about.
Radio and TV Stations!
Under the new rules, Radio and TV station calls are not "solocitations" so:

• Can telemarket you whenever they want (even late at night and early in in the morning) despite being on the national do-not-call list
• Do NOT have to abide by your request to stop calling!
• Can use obnoxious prerecorded message calls and fill up your answering machine
• Can call you repeatedly to tell you "listen to the morning show"
• Can send all the junk faxes promoting their station that they want

FILE A COMMENT WITH THE FCC * If you agree with me that these telemarketing calls from radio and tv stations are NOT wanted, you need to FILE A COMMENT with the FCC and give them your opinion!
