Oops, got the name wrong. Should have been SnoozeFM. Ok it's not quite that bad ... just incredibly dull. And with the TVC, why is that woman so stressed? It's not even late enough to be dark outside, and there's no kids around ... but she looks like she's just come back from a 3 day boot camp ... without any having had any boots to wear!
