Totally agree Derek. Non-movie is usually 12 minutes between Ads. Move the ads to either side of the programs.
I believe it's a bit more subtle:parametric wrote: ↑Tue Sep 03, 2019 1:18 amUnfortunately it seems to be true that viewers WILL buy anything that says "NEW" or "BEST EVER" - so while the advertisers believe this to be true - the nonsense will continue . . .![]()
Even though TV stations claim they are not louder I still believe they are using dynamic range compressionshelly0624 wrote: ↑Mon Sep 02, 2019 6:22 pmThe thing I really hate (here in the U.S.) is that when the commercial comes on, they've jacked the volume up so loud that you grab the controller as fast as you can to turn it down. I've never understood why they would do something so repelling to sell something. They instantly make themselves odious to the viewer.
Yes Ladies - we're on the same page here.

which is also why "pop"music is so much louder today compared to 20 years ago.
Advertising on TV has gotten longer and more aggressive as the decades pass. 1970's and 80's was around 12 minutes per hour now is almost 20 minutes.
Recently Australia had to put up with woolworths supermarkets cashing in on disnyes lion king with there ooshies promotion.
the soundtrack to the ad was "the lion sleeps tonight", it wasn't uncommon to have the same adverts 3 times in a break.
It became so intense I'd turn of the TV and walk out. I wont even watch it TV anymore.
Saturation advertising, Australia's nanny state advert censoring (adverts here are very lame) bad programming,
lazy production (ie reality shows) is why i wont sit in front of a TV any more. if I do it will be for something out of my DVD collection.
which means I can watch something as many times as i like, no adverts and no one is watching me watch TV (unlike internet TV)
IMO TV is dead in all it's forms.

Oh Yes . . . . That's a famous one . . . . .Rara wrote: ↑Thu Sep 05, 2019 5:38 amThe fun thing is, seeing adverts posted in another thread somewhere on here .... (I think it was parametric who posted them)
because of this, after seeing those adds I instantly thought of Benson and Hedges when I was
going through my CD's and next song (or piece) starts playing, Back's air.... I couldn't help having a gigglethanks
