Irrelevant.  They get a huge chunk of change from the Students.  That's who 
they work for.  That's their mission statement.  And they should be careful
about advertisers anyway since that's how that got shut down by the FCC a 
while back when they dominated the commercial market, now they seem to have
a different mission: they have a wide range of unpopular shows, seeming to 
service the DJ's more than the listeners (I actually support that in a way).

So shutting down this service is just bizarre.

Of course as Justin Mentioned, it's probably easier to advertise using the 
mserv set up than the old fashioned way.
