Was watching “Watters’ World’ last night and it finally hit me how many commercials are being crammed into the programming breaks. In one, I counted six ads ... mostly 30 seconds each. I swear there was more time dedicated there to commercials than to programming content. Is this legal? The answer is yes ... see: Tampa Bay Times Answer. I seem to remember when such drivel was limited by FCC regulation. If this has changed, me thinks that greed is overtaking entertainment in our media.
Watch out advertisers ... there will be a tipping point! For me it is very close!
