At such time the advertisment is aired on WFMT 98.7 WNIU 90.5 or (New York) WQXR 96.3, guess I'll be able to tell you.
Something tells me, JONATHON, none of those stations, or their equivalent, if any, in Southern California, are exactly on your "listen to" list.

Methinks the replies to this thread belong in a 'Pounce on Jonathan' topic. Geez, the guy is spontaneous and an enthusiastic passenger railfan. I look forward to his posts. I envy Mr. Toy for getting to meet him.

While the linked article appearing in Today's New York Times is not related to railroads in any manner, it does not appear to be any more off topic that much of the tripe I see posted at this Forum.

"...we are momentarily interrupting our presentation of Bach's "Keyboard Concerto #2 in E" to bring you a message from our fine friends at Amtrak...."
Chances of 98.7 listeners hearing that are slim, but I took that as Mr. Norman's original point. People of his ilk must bear the burden of going through life with limited exposure to Amtrak radio commercials. Unless..unless he can acquire a taste for country. Possible, GBN?

I would hope, Mr. Zephyr, that a programmer could schedule Bach's Concerto #2 in E Major BWV 1053 to be aired without interruption.
As for C&W, Sorry bout that!

Railroads and classical music may not necessarily be two seperate beasts. A. Dvorak, the late 19th century classical composer (I would add "great" classical composer) was a real railfan and train watcher. It is said some of his orchestral music was inspired by steam locomotives. He was a great train spotter not only in his native Czechoslovakia, but also in the US when he came over here in the 1890's. There is one story of one time when he asked a young man, who was either courting or engaged to his daughter, to run over to a local train station. He wanted the man to jot down the number on the side of a steam locomotive so he could follow its progress to various locales across the country. The young man, instead, took down the number on the coal tender, instead of the locomotive. Dvorak later said something about the fact he wondered if the man would make his daughter a good husband if he couldn't even get his train #'s straight.
