I'm rather neutral about the ads but I would do the same thing as annie2, if I knew the merchants were reputable, reasonable and offered products or services of high quality. I pay close attention to TOTV posts praising individual businesses. To me, putting their advertising dollars here then doing great work is a GRAND SLAM! Those businesses are on a short list right next to my phone.

What I'm wondering is whether the Talk Hosts have already tried, or can in the future introduce some form of evaluation system for advertisers, perhaps leading to the "TOTV Seal of Approval". I recognize the effort entailed in evaluating businesses, but the potential value of the endorsement might be worth enough to businesses to pay the increased ad rates which would pay for the evaluation process.

What say you, O Great and Eminent Talk Hosts!?!
