This might be one of almost 3,000 daily factoids

I have a brilliant idea that will never see fruition. Why? For one I'm sure advertisers would find a way to stop it in its tracks. Too bad, because if somebody did it, it would make my life so much better, and it would be one of the best educational tools ever. Here's the idea. A 24-hour a day commercial-free network made up of 30-second educational clips on art, history, literature, science, mathematics in short every subject. This is a station you would turn to every time a commercial came on during a show you were watching. Therefore, instead of having to watch some promotion for cars or cereal, you would be learning one or more facts that could only increase your general knowledge. Imagine how much more educated you would be after a year of switching to this station during commercials than sitting through mindless promotions. Since it is in 30-second segments, you could watch as many as you felt were necessary before you could return to your regular programming. I'd subscribe immediately and so would anyone else who hates being forced to watching endless commercials.
