Frequent Commercials
« on: April 27, 2008, 09:19:44 PM »
Don't you guys think TWC could cut down the number of commericals they show? I understand the reason is for money and profits but they need to think about the viewers too. Back in the day they wouldn't have that many commercials now they have commercials 6-7 times an hour!

Does anyone else think the frequent commercials on TWC are annoying?

Theres also a content issue there, it would be hard to fill half of the commercial time with on air / related content wise, you have to think of this from both angles.

Not really, they could cover a lot more weather at the maps and go a lot more in-depth. They have to graze through certain segments these days due to time constraints.

True. TWC just gives basic info plus the OCMs are rushing all the time to get the info out in short timing.
