The meter to the right is that "0" centered?  Is that a CB radio?

Almost fell out off the couch. I was watching TV and there was a national
commercial that featured Ham Radio. This is not some cheesy local 
affiliate

news filler or a two-bit webcast but an actual professionally produced
commercial that features Ham Radio broadcast on national TV. It is a bit 
of
a stretch to link the product they are selling to Ham Radio but nice to 
see

ham radio included.

Simon,

Velveeta is a cheese product, and also a brand name.

Recently they have been branching out into prepared products which use it.
