More commercials than actual news.

Very soon ABC World News Tonight will not have any time for the news. Lately it seems there are more commercials than any reports on world events. Not that there ever were many reports on world events on ABC since they are more interested in promoting any upcoming ABC program or the latest Disney film. But they won't even have time for that any more. Now it's practically wall-to-wall commercials. They start out with an ad-free stretch to get you hooked, but soon it goes like this: David Muir says, "When we come back we have breaking news from Turkey." Then there are seven or eight commercials. When they come back, David Muir says, "There was an earthquake in Turkey. Hundreds were killed." and then there are eight more commercials, which end just in time for a quick human interest story, usually related to sports. Excessive commercials have even taken over a show that was surprisingly commercial-light until recently: Jeopardy. There were usually only three or four commercials before they returned for Final Jeopardy. Now there are about nine. I can't speak for this past week because I can't bear to watch the program as long as their arrogant new champion Matt Jackson remains their smug and ungracious winner. Which, sadly, may be a long time.
