When listening to the radio, if there's an emergency, like a tornado warning, the announcers will give the telephone number for emergency situations like the police or fire department only once. But when a commercial comes on touting home re-fi, debt relief, miracle pharmaceuticals, whatever, they will repeat their telephone number up to six times in the same spot.
