Narrative:
May I first address an issue that has concerned me for some time. At some airports, the ATIS broadcasts are becoming too long and duplicating information already provided by the FSS WX briefing (towers in the area, long list of closed txwys, etc). So there I was -- we had just descended below the atl class B airspace, trying to monitor ATIS and approach when the approach controller advised us that the airspeed below class B was 200 KTS and I had failed to slow down. Our speed at that time was 230 KTS. I know the limit was 200 KTS, as I fly in this location often, and I am confident that I would have slowed down if the distraction of a long-winded ATIS had not played a part.
