Ads have been around since TV began and are being shown more and more every year. Am I wrong here? How many of you readers believe that ads are so annoying? I bet a lot of you people just answered yes didn't you..
I understand that TV is one of the most powerful ways of getting ads across to the public but lately it has been ridiculous!!! Ads are taking over our TV. You're watching your favorite TV show that you never miss and you end up finding it hard to watch the episode through because the ads are too much..
I was watching my show, Supernatural last Monday, and I decided then I would write about TV ads for my next blog. I counted how many ads there were in that 1 hour period. There was a total of 5 ads in that hour and each ad spanned for about four minutes and around that mark. Now if I'm correct, 5 ads each lasting around 4 minutes equals up to 20 minutes of ads in one hour!!!
I think it's time that TV channels rethink how many ads they are showing because in my opinion it effects ratings....

Ah but it increases overall profit so that they can afford the shows. Its like with discovery channel. they are not popular enough to have ad companies pay large amounts and the people who make documentaries want a large fee so they include HOURS of ads.. it’s the only way to make a profit.
