Excellent programing, but ads at app start opressive – Bloomberg Radio+ Review

I'm a longtime listener of Bloomberg radio on 1130 am, but the signal where I live in Bucks County, PA, varies a lot, depending on propagation and the requirement for the station to reduce transmitter power near sunset. Hence, I really appreciate the ability to listen static free via the internet, whether at home or away. This dedicated app is the most direct and convenient access on iPad, iPod, or cell. Lately, however, I find very annoying the addition of a barrage of ads whenever I start the app or anytime the internet connection is interrupted, even very briefly, with the consequent loss of program material. Particularly offensive is that the first startup ad runs twice at each startup. I have no complaint, however, about listening on the internet to the same ads as on broadcast radio. Of course, programs have to be paid for. Startup ads aside, Bloomberg radio is the best source of thoughtful, balanced economic and business news and information, and Surveillance with Tom Kean is the best of the best.
