I have a hard time imagining why more people aren't annoyed at the number of commercials we are constantly subjected to every night. Especially when I feel sure that most of them are unnecessary for the networks to make a profit—they just want to make a killing. Here, for example, is the commercial rundown for ABC World News Wednesday night, October 14.
15 minutes of news to get you hooked
5 commercials
A 1-minute news story
4 more commercials
2 minute news story
10 commercials
Short final news story
4 more commercials before 7 pm.
Total for half hour: 23 commercials. And that's just one half-hour show.
