Why is that weird?  A radio station is a company making money.  They 
give you music you want, and in return you listen to their adverts.  So 
long as the radio station makes more money from advertising income than 
it has to pay to the content owners then it will work.

Of course stations run by the BBC don't have adverts, but everyone is 
forced to pay a license fee for that.
