Especially with a Republican majority in Congress, the party that would eliminate all regulation. I am 69 years old and handicapped, my only entertainment is television..well, I can only hope the greedy corporate heads will have nothing but commercials run thru their heads as they try to sleep plus end up with television as their only source of entertainment because of the same health issues I have. These commercials are terrible for news programs because a viewer never gets to know anything about a story because of interruptions. It is totally stupid to waste money on commercials that are longer than Twice as many as CNN. GROSS !!!!!!! a good 300 here ,but some not opened I always liked to watch internet movies It is getting to the point where we watch a lot less tv about ready to drop cable. Stop the ads ..we are sick of them where are the t.v.shows with out sooo many ads. I have recently started a website, the info you provide on this site has helped me greatly. I cannot stand watching the news anymore. Had to quit watching. Its a shame what it has come to..Pathetic A.F. Ill bet you every penny I have that Google has already copied and filed this post Im going to post and might even try to block me from getting it posted by not allowing my catpcha to work or simply error the page and clear the screen . I am sorry if I have caused any offence. Same with corrupt Clinton Foundations & fat cat overpaid, underperforming execs. You will learn to appreciate our Gift of Life, and have your brain enhanced as well. Because of all the commercials I cut my cable subscription to just basic and purchased a roku stick. Ridiculous!! That comes out to be 1 ad every minute of the show. When Mika says coming up, I rapidly tap the 30 second jump botton 8 times (4 minutes and Im good. Most hour-long television series episodes will consist of a Teaser scene, followed by Act One, Act Two, Act Three, Act When it comes to commercial advertisements, I simply fast forward them. Oh, and lets not forget when Martin Savage was run into the ground OVER and OVER again with the guy in the mock-up cockpit of a Boeing 767 to make news stories well after the fact when the airplane went down in the Indian Ocean. your lives will come back. I understand we need them (or at least the stations do), But 41 in an hour.. Thats pathetic.. Ilikebigbboob@gmail.com I get Amazon Prime free because Im a member (and use Amazon to order a lot of stuff). I subscribe to Sling for sports, but will be cutting that as well,in a day or two. Then it goes to about every 9 or 10 and then during the last 30 minutes it is every 4 minutes. But the thing that I cant understand is the fact that customers think that posting their complaints will actually have any impact on anything. Broadcast networks averaged 13 minutes and 25 seconds of commercial time per hour in 2009, which grew to 14 minutes and 15 seconds in 2013, the story reports. I think we all like to sit down in front of the tellie and watch a movie, sitcom or the news without so very many interruptions. Thus, a sitcom script is generally between 25 and 40 pages long. Fox news is just as bad, as in MSNBC. Allow me to reply to myself. Many of them require additional paid subscriptions. Its past time to turn it off! Perhaps there are also in-house commercials for the network pushing itself constantly. my dad told me that there was an FCC regulation on how many commercials could be shown at one time. 60 minute program, without the ads equals to 42-44 minutes, going but TV box sets such as 24 one hour show but each episode on the DVD is around 42-44 David Muirs nightly news at 6:30 is absolutely THE WORST when it comes to commercials. Who can resist Martha cooking up something delicious.. Its time for them to stop being so greedy, and provide a better version of the entertainment they claim to be providing. Copyright 2018 Dexter Canfield Media Inc. Fox News Shuffles Its Lineup as Anchor Takes Time Off, ABC Revamps Prime Time, Takes Wraps Off 2014-15 Schedule Featuring 12 New Shows. WE ARE RETIRED, TV IS GETTING WORSE. If you think tv is that bad and dont like it that much then why dont you just stop watching it? I record all the shows I want to watch so that I can fast forward commercials. Upon your return you should have a decent amount of news with the ability fast forward through all the adds and guff this news opperater wishes to chuck at you..Nuff said. Is your bathroom closer to the TV? You would think that with age comes wisdom and the fact that these people post here is a good tool for companies to get a feel of who they are dealing with and can make adjustments at different levels in an effort to keep these customers no matter what it takes. @Mr.Zinda: We refuse to pay $100 a month anymore for TV broadcasting full of ads that mostly insult our intellegence. IM GONE. Sorry but nothing short of a massive Television boycott is going to get any decision makers attention.. One of these days a Network will realize that if they establish standards and reject commercials with yelling, screaming, and other obnoxious audio, their Nielsen ratings would increase. No and now Frontier has added a fast forward rejection for commercials. The typical short commercial break during a television show is between 15 and 30 seconds while a standard advert is between 30 and 60 seconds. He did this during his first days in office. There are some news stations that literally show a story for 30 seconds, cut to commercials, show another 30 second story and then have more commercials again. Maybe the liberty guy hopes to get those 2 woman to pull over so he can pork them and cut them up with his unshaven face. I remember why cable tv started.. But now I always have my remote in my hand. That is absolutely outrageous and should never happen. this allows you to watch the program without commercials,,,,program is now 40 minutes rather than one hour. Advertising is EVERYWHERE, blighting the landscape and the media. FoxNews is one of the worse. its absolutely ridiculous people are already acting and driving that way.This world is going to hell in a hand basket and it need to STOP!!! Manipulative political porn. I assume its a matter of financial survival or rather profit-growing to keep investors interested in supporting the model. DVRing and then replaying shows has the same effect as if all watching viewed the commercials. 4- This pretty much reduces cable requirements for computer use only. GREED by the program actors and producers is the cause of all the AdsIt absolutely riduclous the number of Ads we have to sit through to watch a show on TV.5 minutes of Show/5 minutes of Ads,we get 30 minutes of show of whats supposed to be an hour show and 15 minutes of show of whats supposed to be a half hour show and the actors get 6 figures a show. I noticed on one channel they have commercials about every 12 to 15 minutes for the first 45 minutes. As for TV, I enjoyed TCMs commercial-free screenings of classic films, but realized I was overpaying for the amount of time I watched the channel. Best Answer. they are totally stupid, they encourage people to think they can drive like idiots with there cell phones stuck in there ear and cars sliding all over the place. I limit my TV view on cable to mostly free movies on certain channels Tha t have no commercials. Bravo, Sir! Yes. As most ad breaks are either 2, 3 or 3 The constant commercials are just plain annoying. I use my TVs blue blanker and lightning fast reflexes to blank out commercials and they are fast to switch from the show right to the commercial. I have never ,and I mean never have bought one thing that Ive seen on a commercial. Mr. Zinda is correct; venting your ire here will only provide fuel to the advertisers fire, and the stations really DONT CARE whether you watch their commercials or not, because theyve ALREADY BEEN PAID for that ad. All these advertising scumbags should have razor cuts all over their bodies then drenched in alcohol. Now end credits are zapped SO FAST one cannot see who did what or who was who on the screen. Try it. Senators/Representatives? And more commercials are being jammed into that growing ad hole, with the number of 30-second spots decreasing while the number of 15-second ads rises. Such a irritating every time whenever watching tv or one thing every news chennel has a tie up with each other they take comercial break same time such a pain. Especially, during General Hospital. Because i dont care how addicted you are to TV, the way this is going is pushing me away from the ordeal of it, and I know I cant be the only one. Even sports broadcasts are unwatchable due to the sheer volume of ads shoved at the viewer. Back in the day when I was a kid (a long time ago!) In the past month, I have actually enjoyed only 3 commercials out of hundreds. "The increased number of commercials has translated to more money flowing into television. Watching the View, Dr. Phil, the news and many most other shows especially Y & R go way beyond the allowed limit, is anyone watching? Why dont they just run commercials 24 / 7.THEY ARE NOT FAR FROM IT ! it`s funny. Hell, just a few years ago FX ran LOTR Two Towers, a special 2 night airing: 2 nights in a row, 4hrs each night, EIGHT HOURS to air a 3hr movie. Really, is that too much to ask? In about 15 years most of the television stations will be gone because they cannot charge very much for their commercial space if everyone is skipping thru the commercials with their Fast Forward buttons. Bastards, TV commercials are what the mute button is for. Soon my show is nearly over and I still have six commercials left to start supper! MSNBC has a commercial break every thirty seconds now, and you are right, we are the mindless ones but I cant find an alternative. They show more and more commercials, I watch less and less TV. 1- Many commercials are dumb as a stump at best. So I checked what was happening by turning the same show on through Comcast online through the computer, and could see the 10-30 seconds of the show that was missing as presented on the On Demand through the cable. The next commercial is in four minutes and that gives me three minutes to run my sweeper and put it away. The average NFL game includes 20 commercial breaks containing more than 100 ads. My hunch is that the 13-minute figure is way low! It helps to see like-minded people as fed up with the frequency and excessive amount of stupid, inane ads as I. PBS! For kicks, I time the length of commercial and length of program. He then proceeded to gut every other agency that put citizens first and business second. The IRS doesnt have commercials. She at Shaw told me it was mailed June 01,2021, I never opened it because I got a notice on my computer over due, That is a insult to me .Thank You in Advance ,But we both know the outcome. Youd have to be an idiot to buy something they have to advertise every 10 minutes i buy the stuff they dont advertise because it speaks for itself, We are developing an APP that allows you to prerecord any program less the commercials. BOYCOTT YOUR LOCAL CABLE PROVIDER THIS COMING JULY 1ST. These greedy bastards better wake up, streaming subscriptions are surpassing cable satillite. I remember watching Blade and it took forever, completely ruined the film. I encourage all viewers to tell these heinous broadcasters we will boycott their programs if they dont significantly REDUCE the number and percentage of ads on their shows. This channel is RIDDLED with what seems like only the following commercials. Its ridiculous that the amount of ads/commercials that continue to explode. Choose to have the Teracota Army stencilled on your back and wait for it to heel. The amount of times I have to see the same car ads have driven me to madness. That set the template for everything that has happened since then, and somehow people have forgotten it. Really!! Sorry, but no. How do I block your stupid add programs??? I usually go to the kitchen to make my sandwiches. They initially had one commercial every 15 minutes so 4 in an hour show. With a new one featured every hour! Cut the cable, put up an antenna, and add a streaming service. This is cheapness on a grand scale and the average viewer doesnt realize that by having MORE commercials and less news, the news divisions also need fewer employees. Those companies are fools because millions of people are not watching their commercials. And no I am not 13 I am 14. Please correct me if I am wrong. AMAC uses its funds to actually HELP seniors, not to rip them off like AARP does at every turn! and all of it due to GREED/their need to make as much money as possible!!!!!!!!! Our cable bill is out of sight, we are cutting the cable and going over the air or even tossing out our tVs. Years ago when HBO first came out there were no commercials. The content lasting 15 seconds followed by 2.3 to 3.1 minutes of commercials. My guess is that there are more and more shorter commercials because the advertisers are less likely to pay for them. Disgusting! How much is comfortable? Do they think the cable providers care if you are watching? Ive became SO fed up with trying to watch a show (or movies) with the ever-increasing TSUNAMI of commercials, that I finally gave up trying to watch shows altogether on both broadcast and cable tv. in a few more years the television industry with pass into history. Look it up. I have two collector cars I tinker with. Just as most of the complaints on too many commercials we have cut down on TV watching BY 70% The broadcast lasted three hours and 15 minutes, but it included 18 separate commercial breaks that in total lasted 43 minutes not including the halftime break. In some cases they play the same commercials several times in one spot. UNTIL, we Boycott TV all together. The next break was about five and a half minutes, starting off with a bumper announcing that " King of Queens is brought to you by Allstate." Pretty soon there will be more commercial and show.. The only shows that should stick to the way they are now are anything live like award shows, sports, live talent shoes where the comercials are to by the performers time to get ready, ect. This is commercial insanity. Doesnt seem that way anymore!!! They show a lot of old 80s and 90s sitcoms on Saturday and Sundays. The number came out to 25 minutes of commercials and just over 22 minutes of actual show. The number of commercials has increased to the point where its no longer possible to follow, no less watch No more dying children and sad dogs shivering in the cold. I promise you that over 15 minutes of the half hour show was ad time. I just complain to Direct TV.. but there all laughing at us. opped.I use yo watch the View but commercials have overcome that show so I stopped.. I wondering how much of the show Im really seeing. Whether it happens or not depends. This situation has grown steadily worse every month and year. It is up to 60 minutes of commercials in a 90 minutes show on Comcast. If you watch a movie look up how long the movie is then look on the cable listing on how long its time slot is and youll see that up to 35% of the time is commercials not worth watching it really is getting bad. EVERYONE UNITE! I graduated college in 1993 with Communications major radio and television all of the instructors told us commercials who would be gone and the not too distant future boy were they full of BS. 3- I would imagine buying a new TV will not be a priority for most people. Why are we one of them? document.getElementById( "ak_js_1" ).setAttribute( "value", ( new Date() ).getTime() ); TVWeeks 2019 Media Buyer of the Year Philip McKeon, Former Child Actor, Dead at 55 Business Is Booming for One Veteran Media Exec and He Was Just Named Time Magazines Businessperson of the Year Three New Stars Join Cast. WebIn-programme advertising is allowed, but counted toward the 12-minute quota, means that if a 60-minute show has 2 minutes of in-programme advertising, the commercial breaks Its all a matter of scheduling your day!!! How can any cable station, network or advertiser think that this approach will result in more sales? Why cant you do like in Denmark where adds are placed between programs. Just finished watching the newest Bates Motel even though i recorded and was skipping commercials I was baffled at how many times i had to hit the 30 second skip. Watch PBS, commercial free and you get actual news and not what a pundit thinks. I never watched it in the first place other than the occasional impossible repair job I was facing and I quickly learned that if I couldnt figure out how to get something apart without breaking it, my chances of finding any help would either be non existent or a waste of my time sesrching. Happens to me all the time, I have not paid nor watched any cable or satellite in a decade and im only 29, i will not ever pay for it unless the commmercials are removed or Drastically altered, i just will not do it. So if you make $20 per hour, you should be charging $8-9 per hour to watch their commercials. pharmaceutical, insurance and automobile are the worst With pharmaceutical being number one. As I recall almost of the commercials in the 1960s were one minute long. shows were paying for. They would be very surprised to see these being young viewers since they have known those people where never part of the cable users base. 2- When we watch annoying commercials I will go out of my way to avoid buying the product or services. When i watch it i skip the commercials . Web214 votes, 22 comments. In this insanely capitalistic nation, meaningful legislation to ease this torture is highly unlikely. This is in Canada using telus. I have timed these commercials, and the number of commercials per one half hour and one hour shows. Our obsession with money is at a disgusting level. Greed. Not long ago I used a stopwatch to time the actual show time for Everybody Loves Raymond .. the episode airs for 36 minutes, but only NINE MINUTES were the show, the other TWENTY SEVEN MINUTES were commercials. I do stream Netflix and Hulu along with Amazon as I have a Prime membership. What kind of ridiculous joke is that? For kicks I sampled a number of popular channels* to see what the percentage of commercials to programming averaged. WebEach commercial break is usually a story act break. I turn off the sound and get up and do something around the house during the times (at the end of the hour) when there are the most commercials between shows. No telling how long the news will actually last. So why pay the extraordinary high price of cable or satellite to watch commercials, I would understand if tv was free but with the price we pay, there shouldnt be any commercials at all!! Our local SF Bay Area news programs are horrid. the average 1 hour show has 17-18 minutes of advertisements. I will mute the TV & go do something else or program the flashback button to TCM, where Im not subjected to mindless insurance, prescription drug and acne ads. We will only have just so many days, so many hours and only so many minutes. It costs for good internet, but Im done with cable TV. Zero stories about how insurance companies rob citizens, then penalize them because their credit scores go down (huh?) I cant watch commercial tv anymore. Not only do we pay for the privilege of watching all these commercials, the newscasters are now being forced to speak so fast to allow more space for advertising! Comcast has a new dirty trick. They are just using their collected info to do smarter targeted ads. Medicare Advantage, Sling TV are you ready now?, Im just waiting until wireless internet gets up to speed and bye-bye Comcast altogether. And the best part is. I guess we all should encourage the commercials . And we get more commercial ads then ever. AARP lies & spends millions on its ads which flood the screen time after time, day in, day out. Frankly, Im tired of the Ford, Dodge, Chevy, Nissan, Toyota and Subaru commercials, as well as the Budweiser with its loud obnoxious screaming music. I find traditional cable simply unwatchable bad shows loaded with ads and it offends me that cable companies charge a premium for access to this garbage. Yep, I cant watch the Golf Channel live any more. Laws that regulate this must be enforced or made. WebYou begin and end them as you would a sitcom, however there are no scene breaks. Think about it. Never will you hear of someone getting something extra from a service but I can find millions of overcharges made using that billing! I DVR everything and FF through it all but having to pay attention enough to catch them all is annoying too. But truth be told, customer satisfaction is no longer a meaningful factor. I can make that switch in less then a second if the commercials continue. WebThe National Football League requires sixteen commercial breaks per game, with eight in each half. AARP is as corrupt as the many lying charity pharma & lying AARP adsthe money AARP spends on its massive ad campaign is almost criminal! Bless you and your formula for resisting consumer propaganda. The End Is Near for Free TV. Yes it is pathetic how many commercials that are on TV especially when they repeat the same commercial over and over during the break of the same thing. Just finished the second episode of American Crime on ABC, I counted at least 6 minutes of commercials 4 times at least, possibly 5. However, we did Cut The Cable and revert to Digital antennae, Or Free TV, or Poor TV, as we call it LOL. I just turn off the TV or change channels nothing is so good that you have to put up with that. I watched an hour of ABC last evening and the 10 (count em) ads came on every 10 minutes! That way I can select what to watch,or, delete the programs entirely. The sad thing is I cant change channels fast enough or mute the damn things fast enough to prevent me from going into a rage screaming at the TV ( cause I dont want to hurt anyones feelings?) They are spending billions on ads, money that they take from customers, for in many cases REQUIRED BY LAW that people purchase. In fact, I used to wait for the end of each season, and buy each one individually, but now wait for the SERIES to conclude, wait for the inevitable Complete Series release, and watch it then. I could be interested in watching them but stopped watching. It was making me psychotic. How many years of the rest of your life do you want to devote to advertisers? Just shut the box off. You cant channel surf anymore, all the channels are on commercial breaks. It does absolutely NO GOOD to gripe about TV ads on forums like this one. I actually watched a Friends episode specifically for the purpose of timing the commercials. Big Brother, Fake News and certain billionaire despots now run this country. account for about 50% of all commercials. If YOU REALLY WANT IT TO STOP THEN READ THIS, UNITE, ORGANIZE AND PLAN TO BOYCOTT YOUR LOCAL CABLE PROVIDER THIS JULY 1ST (WHICH IS A THURSDAY AND A BUSINESS DAY JUST BEFORE INDEPENDENCE DAY OF 2017!).

I would love to cut cable entirely and watch over the air but because of where I live, even with best antenna, I cannot get a signal. I usually always watch two shows at once , and sometimes itll be three , so when Commercials come on one I flip to the other. Even PBS has ads. Cut. Three letters P B S !!! I was watching a show the other night and decided to count the commercials.. Yes I remember all this BS so clearly when they wanted to get cable introduced into our small town. Thank goodness for tv remote mute button! I video taped most of the TV movies; sports and news. Otherwise I would sit and let the day go by, whilst the Boob Tube sucks at my brain! If Im interested in watching something, I simply wait for it to come out on dvd, and watch it that way. Not only is most programming very repetitive and out dated is the constant same commercials and infomercials. I wasnt going to bother contributing to this bitch-fest, but decided to post this comment after reading yours. I remember when cable was just supposed to be for reception and commercial free channels! Zero stories about how insurance companies increasingly refuse to cover things that might actually happen (black mold, hurricanes, etc.). Do not buy from their sponsors and maybe they will back off on some of this crap. I cut the cord a year ago, in part because of the commercial load. i remember those great days when commercials were regulated by law. I too get annoyed by commercials on cable tv. The trend is 4-6 minutes of show and 5 minutes of commercial.and on and on. Netflix and streaming services are a good option. Why is it that when the program Cheaters comes on at 4am each morning, they may limit their commercials to around 2 and then its back to the show. I too refuse to buy anything theyre selling When respectable visit your local tattooist. GREED IS OUT OF CONTROL!! I dont watch any commercials if I had to I would not be able to have TV.
