The report revealed that more than a quarter of radio ads in the summer of 2003 would not have been in compliance with the alcohol industry's revised marketing codes announced in September 2003.  To view the report, visit http://camy.org/research/files/radio0104.pdf  (You will need Adobe Acrobat Reader software on your computer to view this report.)
