If Im interested in watching something, I simply wait for it to come out on dvd, and watch it that way. The ridiculous ratio between commercial time vs. movie time MUST be alienating viewers. you may all hate the commercials, but it is what pays for the programs you watch. So did it run 1:15 or 1:30 total. When I was a kiddo news-junkie in the 60s, networks did not saturate their news programs with commercials. 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. I was trying to find out about tv shows back in the 60s & 70s & cant seem to find an answer. Power in numbers- organise and pull away from TV. OK we all HATE commercials but what can we do about it? So if you truly cherish your time and how it is being spent, and if you feel strongly enough to no longer be a contributor to this open and defiant display of corporate greed that has gone completely out of control then pass on the date for a nationwide boycott where everyone will choose the same date on their calendar when they will call their cable company and disconnect. Our obsession with money is at a disgusting level. In the old days (mid 60s) it used to be around 6 minutes per half hour and about 11 minutes per hour. Using the autopsy feature on anything is a sure way to leave the door open to your loss. In the past month, I have actually enjoyed only 3 commercials out of hundreds. The first commercial comes in just a couple of minutes. TCM with its great movies, commercial-free. But it is so not worth the huge fees. Who is the DIM-WHIT that expects us to see light gray text on white? Start hitting them where it hurts the most, in the pocketbook. Morning Joe is the worse. if the public hated the show, the sponsor was screwed. I actually watched a Friends episode specifically for the purpose of timing the commercials. They are just using their collected info to do smarter targeted ads. 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. So now LETS ALL SPREAD THE WORD AND SHOW OUR UNITED POWER BY BEGINNING THE BOYCOTT OF CABLE TV THIS COMING THURSDAY OF JULY 1ST TO HELP SHOW THOSE JUST HOW SERIOUS AND DISSATISFIED WE THE PAYING PUBLIC HAVE BECOME AND HOW FIRM WE STAND AND PLAN TO MAKE OURSELVES HEARD ON THIS NEXT UPCOMING INDEPENDENCE DAY!!! If only we could return to those halcyon days before big pharma was allowed TV ads. Cheers to all posters on this thread. Ridiculous!! Zero stories about how insurance companies rob citizens, then penalize them because their credit scores go down (huh?) Hey..I could either pay for watching a show with my time (and AGGRAVATION) by putting up with all those annoying commercials, or simply pay directly for the dvds themselves, and enjoy them later, completely commercial free !!! Put that money toward your cause and stop making us all feel guilty over stuff we cant really change. And for those of you willing to cross to the dark side, theres Kodi. Netflix and streaming services are a good option. I wasnt going to bother contributing to this bitch-fest, but decided to post this comment after reading yours. Theyre the ones who make the rules for both TV stations AND advertisers. Your imagination comes back you may even start to question things which is a long lost art. There are no actual reporters anymore WHO TRULY FIND THE NEWS AND DEVELOP IT What burns me up the most are the small viewer days like Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Just watch the chiller channel. Youre shelling out good money for the dubious privilege of being treated like a mindless consumer. opped.I use yo watch the View but commercials have overcome that show so I stopped.. Have been watching over the air channels for a year because cable is a rip off. Google has shown us that everything they touch will cost you in some way, if not directly in cash you will give up privacy and bombarding you with add is their coup de grace. NetFlix/Hulu/Etc are it. You could make your sandwich, and eat it.but if you wait too long, you will miss the three minutes of actual air time, and be back to the next set of commercials! and no way to delete it. How many years of the rest of your life do you want to devote to advertisers? The average time actually spent viewing the show was 6-7 minutes between commercials. They are useless annoyances. AND SO DO THEY , fucx corporate CHINA now the usa suks ass big time, CORPORATE FUCKIN DAILY FUCK THESE GREED MONGERS kick their stupid ass to curb ,GOD will sort these FAGGOTS OUT and be judged,,,,,, COCKSUCKERS. Early on 30-minute tv shows were brought to you by one sponsor. (b) This may be increased by a further three minutes per hour (5 per cent) devoted to 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. Even PBS has ads. GMA and other shows are guilty of pouring over 10 minutes of commercials continuously! I believe he also told me that they were limited on how long the commercial breaks could be. Bravo, Sir! I watch CNN frequently and as often as not when I turn it on what comes on is a COMMERCIAL. Watching the View, Dr. Phil, the news and many most other shows especially Y & R go way beyond the allowed limit, is anyone watching? NOW IS THE TIME TO MAKE YOURSELVES HEARD AS ONE UNITED VOICE! I m just sick of paying for dish cable ads where are the t.v. 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. Thanks for listening. WTF! Americans need to stand together and boycott certain channels on certain days to show our voice matters. (Other services) 1.1.2(B) (a) The total amount of spot advertising in any one day must not exceed an average of nine minutes per hour (15 per cent) of broadcasting. I can go the bathroom, make a sandwich, and finish it, and the commercials are still not over. Tune in to CNN and imeadiatly set the pause button. I think cbs makes way too much money on the ads but I think the owner of CBS knows this and he will never stop because it means more money in his already fat wallet. ASPCA LIES. Uhh, they do. It was never my intention to offend anyone other than news broadcasters that consider their viewers required 15 or 16 minutes of advertisements during their single hour of veiwing. I remember why cable tv started.. (Because no one would watch it of their own choice proving were not interested in them)! What bothers me most is that a number of networks edit as much as 15 minutes from a movie to steal the time for advertising! Since, almost everybody is paying for cable, dish, & satellite; it should be a class action lawsuit , if we are forced to watch more commercials, than the t.v. my money pay for ?My last Shaw Bill took 21 days to get to my Mail box. The next commercials are in five minutes, allowing me plenty of time to polish the tables and start my laundry. Last year I pretty much gave up on TV. But the real problem is advertisements ,yes Its big money for someone So just what does Now its mainly Pawn Stars and other such rubbish. Still, I am paying good money for this bull-help is very much needed! Although some manage to get major hospitals renamed after them. In other words, they expand the viewing time by almost half for your commercial enjoyment. Every sitcom episode has a main plot (story A), as well as one or two subplots (stories B and C). I realize that someone has to pay for the freight so why not charge more for commercial time and have fewer of them? The frequent interruptions also add to our anger and frustration. Why? over the years its got worse, now 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. Theyll ride that horse until it drops dead on them. Absolutely! I know Shaw Staff gave me my e-mail That never worked from day one So Sea-Side Computers This channel is RIDDLED with what seems like only the following commercials. Post A Comment. NO MORE. or because they file a claim. Or at least a large percentage of the equity. These days, I find myself watching General Hospital less and less. How many commercials are show on an average commercial break? That set the template for everything that has happened since then, and somehow people have forgotten it. I can no longer pay for TV and have more minutes of advertising than a program I am canceling my Direct TV. I usually always watch two shows at once , and sometimes itll be three , so when Commercials come on one I flip to the other. Tell u folks Im a happy camper at 85!! 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. Flood the FTC with complaints about this issue. I can start watching a movie 45 60 minutes after the start time, fast forward through the commercials; and catch up to the live broadcast by the end of the movie. However, we did Cut The Cable and revert to Digital antennae, Or Free TV, or Poor TV, as we call it LOL. We, as human beings, watch way too much tv, and its been proven make us more complacent rather than free thinking, emotionally intelligent people. So, instead of only taking the amount needed to cover legitimate claims, they take additional billions for advertising as well as for corporate profit. Especially with a Republican majority in Congress, the party that would eliminate all regulation. We refuse to pay $100 a month anymore for TV broadcasting full of ads that mostly insult our intellegence. Their news is factual. What a joke $$$$ all that money spent and these idiots , that is all you can do? .. .. .. Sure they will laugh but if enough people start calling and demanding this, IT WILL GET DONE. So cable gets paid from us and through commercials, and nobody is getting off cheap! I spend my spare time with YouTube now. Otherwise I would sit and let the day go by, whilst the Boob Tube sucks at my brain! The constant commercials are just plain annoying. Thanks for PBS and thanks for recordings. May 13, 2014 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. Other platforms are simply waiting for their popularity to gain momentum before they make big changes. 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. My guess is that there are more and more shorter commercials because the advertisers are less likely to pay for them. Our days now dont have enough hours in them. Picture that! I usually just keep switching channels, then after an hour or two, I just put some music on, something relaxing to bring down my ire from all of those terrible advertisements. I think that this channels target demographic must be senior citizens/shut ins/ and lower income folks, since most of the ads feature manipulative begging for money (ASPCA), products that aid the elderly, and medical information. Also, the programs would end at the actual time instead of on the hour. If you need news then use the internet, everyone has phones nowadays and most news channels will live stream free or you can catch the individual clips or read for a change. Only drawbacks are the learning curve and sometimes erratic streams which are likely caused by shitty Armstrong cable. How to really enjoy CNN as a male news junkie. Here in the UK ,sat least we have some half dozen channels from the BBC with no commercials ,worth the 200 dollars yearly mandatory fee, all the hundreds of channels here are full of commercials,ads as we call them here,drive you mad . The FCC has COMPLETE and TOTAL authority over them, so which do you think would be more effective at handling your complaints? So much Advertisement it covers every thing I want to read Sure you only had a few premium channels, but the whole idea was to just watch movies. Im sure its much, much higher, as in up in the thousands. But the mere frequency and length of the advert breaks makes the channel unwatchable. What will it accomplish? You need to have the dislike of commercials force you to stop watching? Back to my soap opera! Here in the UK, if a show on the BBC is shown as lasting 30 minutes, it will be that long as there's no advertising there. Watch PBS, commercial free and you get actual news and not what a pundit thinks. A survey among media buying agencies showed that a 30 second TV ad during the broadcast of '60 Minutes' during the 2020/21 season cost around 130 Not only is commercials outrageous but the volume goes up during the commercials. Doing this makes me even madder knowing that these folk lie to their advertisers about live viewer numbers. 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. 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 No commercials. I do not have a DVR or any way of recording..just a normal size t.v. I to, have never bought a prodect that has been adderverised. DVR or renting a movie is the best option time-wise. For shorter TV show episodes like Cobra Kai and Naruto, there were three ad breaks: one 30-second spot before the show started and two in the middle that lasted for 60 seconds. I timed a recent episode of Walking Dead with there being a 4 minute commercial break for every 6 minutes of episode, making a total of 24 minutes of commercial in one hour. We not only are paying for cable, but also giving them 20-25 minutes of our time. The rates go up, service goes down. I watch General Hospital at 2 PM EST. I remember 10 years ago I didnt need a cable box to get HD tv direct to my set. It was making me psychotic. I agree. i agree this commercial break every 6 min is annoying and dumb, this is ANNOYING i went to go watch my favourite show but there was ads so i went to 10 new channels and ALL HAD ADDS F*&#K DIS IM DONE. Even pbs is loaded with advertisements. The FCC? PBS! 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." One more thing I noticed was the posts tend to be written by older people, mostly women. Early TV credits had me scratching my head. Yes, there is way too many commercials on regular tv! How can any cable station, network or advertiser think that this approach will result in more sales? Commercials comprised 14 minutes and 15 seconds of each hourof TV on broadcast networks in 2013, up from 13 minutes and 25 seconds in 2009, according to But maybe they had a good idea by eliminating the commercials. All tv outlets are doing this now, Logo airs Fresh Prince in 45min blocks. David Muirs nightly news at 6:30 is absolutely THE WORST when it comes to commercials. Gone are the days when broadcasters believed they had s commitment to broadcast journalism and covering news from around the world. I recently got a flyer from a cable company offering some big deal special and when I looked at the channels offered there were only 3 that I would have even considered watching. I agree with all that is being said. 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. When I lived in England, We hated to buy a license to watch the BBC. Then tell them to just mail the refund check to you and they can find that info on the page showing your cancellation as of today. 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?) Think about it. ALSO, since Im typing in this box and TRYING TO READ what Ive wrote I CANT SEE IT!!! It is true that he advertising pays for the program. I like watching TV. PULL THE PLUG!! I truly believe that Yellowstone episodes have the least amount of actual programming. Absolute bullshit. I have a method to this madness, I watch these stations and flip during the commercials: ABC News, CNN News, and HLN News. I do stream Netflix and Hulu along with Amazon as I have a Prime membership. Really!! WebWe would like to show you a description here but the site wont allow us. Which means my 1 hour show was almost 20mins of commercials. The answer, according to a 2016 report from Bloomberg, is somewhere between 60 and 70. These breaks run Action must be taken for all these legitimate complaints. Could you imagine a Navy Seal say Frickin??? Ive noticed that people present their beliefs, get attacked, and then the attackers get offended when someone says anything like What are you 13 years old?. PBS. Good bye David .. Nick at Nite now up to 20+ minutes of commercials per hour !!!!!!! I dont watch any commercials if I had to I would not be able to have TV. "In 2009, 30-second spots accounted for 62% of all ads on television; 15-second spots were just 35%. On the other network with the normal start and end times, Ive noticed scenes from the show that were chopped out in order to insert more commercials! 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. 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 minutes long. I do maintain a subscription to Sling for sports, but now find it hard to watch even a high profile football game, due to the sheer number of commercials being pushed out. Too many channels, too many commercials is killing tv. They create ads and then asks you to pay not to watch them. account for about 50% of all commercials. And ABC is all about some crazy Hollywood stories-heaven help! Im paying $148.00 each month for TV and Internet. You truly expect me to believe that, as 3 commercial breaks have occurred while I have been searching for the comment button, and typing all this, GMA and other shows are guilty of pouring over 10 minutes of commercials continuously! That is absolutely outrageous and should never happen. So we take that even further and do not buy products advertised on TV, we feel if its heavily advertised the product is over priced. Social media services Facebook, WhatsApp and Instagram are back up and running after an outage that lasted almost six hours, Facebook says. Boy, I cant wait for track and field, Just comment on Comcast cable TV- Its called Infomercial TV. Never will you hear of someone getting something extra from a service but I can find millions of overcharges made using that billing! I was watching a 1951 episode of the Adventures of Superman..guess how long the actual run time was..28.50 minutes exactly. However, CBS This Morning has so many commercials, I have to hold the remote in my hand! 2- When we watch annoying commercials I will go out of my way to avoid buying the product or services. I am losing my freaking mind over the repetition of commercials constantly being unloaded on us. CNN devotes up to 12 commercial in its quick breaks. CUT & PASTE THIS MESSAGE AND KEEP PASSING IT ON!! Write and send your complaints to the FCC. @Mr.Zinda: Within a one hour show, there were 41 commercials Makes me glad I have a PVR so I can fast forward them. For 1 hour shows same format. Its been WAY out of control for far too long. And then they tack on equipment rental and a laundry list of other fees. No and now Frontier has added a fast forward rejection for commercials. FoxNews is one of the worse. If that is still the case most of the channels are not following that. So if you make $20 per hour, you should be charging $8-9 per hour to watch their commercials. We overdo everything. He then proceeded to gut every other agency that put citizens first and business second. I no longer watch them unless desperate. I was watching the season finale of agents of shield, for an hour long show the actual show only showed in 5 minute intervals, the commercials lasted 10-12 minutes. On two of those three networks, the start time for the show is like 3:06PM and ends at 3:36PM. I have not watched TV for several years now. Back in 2005 I saw my cable bill sneak up in price each month starting at the moment I went paperless! I remember as a kid when people came to the door asking my parents if they would be interested in cable and they explained all the benefits. I rarely look at Kick your cable TV to the curb. 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. They are spending billions on ads, money that they take from customers, for in many cases REQUIRED BY LAW that people purchase. HLN will give tidbits of whats to come, and by the time the commercials are done, youve forgotten what you were waiting for. Because we put up with it ? These greedy bastards better wake up, streaming subscriptions are surpassing cable satillite. AMAC uses its funds to actually HELP seniors, not to rip them off like AARP does at every turn! I looked this up and wrote this while waiting for some actual news on CNN. Really? Pretty soon there will be more commercial and show.. By spending so much on ads, they have in essence bought the media. Its getting to the point I dont even want to watch regular TV, and one person that did suggest to DVR it, theyre not letting you skip through the commercials on the DVR now. I have read 191 comments regarding the disgust of Remember when a cable subscription meant no commercials? Cable companies are thieves and there is no bigger thief than Comcast. 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. Men must be taught as if you taught them not, And things unknown proposed as things forgot. by Alexander Pope. Because of all the commercials I cut my cable subscription to just basic and purchased a roku stick. Now end credits are zapped SO FAST one cannot see who did what or who was who on the screen. John. Not to mention that they are now speeding up the regular programming ever so slightly so they can squeeze in another mindless ad. We are already doing that they just dont care and since more people are switching to streaming they need more adds to cover their lost profit, hence more commercials per hour, I cant stand fox NFL on Sundays or Thursday night football bc they fuck with more commercials then football damn it. On discovery for example I may have to try watch same aired episode 3-4 times to see entire program just due to seeing same medicare commercial every 4 minutes. There are some, however, such as West Wing, which can be as long as 66 pages. 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. On top of that they show the same 3-4 commercials over and over again ON EVERY BREAK. GROSS !!!!!!! Web214 votes, 22 comments.
