This isn't completely unheard of. TV and Radio Stations will sometimes use a digital device to clip out "redundant" frames of video or audio to get a few seconds more for commercials.
I've heard songs on the radio sped up before also on Clear Channel stations in my area (Pittsburgh). I believe it was on their KISS-FM (Top 40) station.

this may sound like a silly question, but why do people listen to the radio? i'm against clearchannel as much as the next guy, but commercial radio in general is a big seething roaring mass of excrement. either you hate the songs they're playing over and over, or they play your favorite song and somehow mess it up.

I guarantee they were sped up. They do that to get more ad time in.
