What's the going rate for a :30 commercial on radio in a top 10 market during morning drive?

I'm thinking about doing some radio spots in Dallas on a top tier radio station.  My target is during morning drive.  I've never done advertising before so I really don't know how much it costs.  I'm talking to some stations right now but would rather be better equipped in my discussions with better information.

Well morning drive is the biggest time for radio, so expect to be paying the most.

The average rate is about $300, which is less than I would have thought but still an awful lot for :30.  That said, depending on what you're trying to advertise I would suggest checking out Google AdWords.  For $300 you can get A LOT more advertising and you only pay when someone clicks your ads!  To get an accurate estimate you need to call the individual stations, but I would recommend checking out alternatives because you will be able to get more bang for your buck.  But to answer you question, around $30.
