I think it's potentially the Windows Media multi-bitrate issue, or maybe Jack's listing is low-bitrate on the portal. And I agree, clever advertising ("click on the banner") doesn't really work on a connected device. They are, right now, the minority way of listening, however.

The whole thing isn't entirely thought out yet, as quite often an internet-only commercial will tell me to "click the advert on your radio player"... which, of course, isn't displaying on my iphone. While the idea of that extra level of interactivity is to be encouraged, it isn't perfect yet! (Interesting also that the Capital FM streaming at musicradio.com is better audio quality than both the above services) This is something that has been of great interest to me over the last few weeks, as I’ve been using the CBS and Clear Channel iphone radio player applications.
