Ad breaks on TV3

Fr.ChewyLouie

Whats going on with the length of the Ad breaks on TV3, during "The Apprentice" the other night the last break was about 5 mins long. Thank God for Sky+ and fast forwarding.

Those bloody "Spots vs. Stripes" Jackie and Brian ads last week were particularly awful.

Good bless the internet;)

I start watching the one hour shows about twenty mins in, or record them for later.

The only way to go.

awh ive seen that , when they first came on Id be convinced I was watching a different show and I end up checking around for ages trying to find the show I was watching, by the time Id get back to the original channel I would miss some of the show, total head wreck!

People actually watch this excuse for a show? I refuse to watch tv anymore, because I refuse to pay to be subjected to a treatment of advidism every time I watch a programme.
Just because an ad tells me to buy something, does not mean I will actually buy it. This and lack of quality content these days are my biggest problems. Cost is the last issue.

My telly days are over because of those ads. :mad:

Jedward came on my telly in one of them Abrakebabara ads. First thing that popped into my head.. "Kick them in the face"
Who knew a 42" screen would break so easily???

Yeah TV3 are woeful for ads. And that 'science' one that was spread out over 3 ad breaks in Glee was really annoyin!

TV3 are entitled to have longer ad breaks.

You still need a tv licence if you have a computer as it can receive broad casted media.

Suppose TV3 have longer ads because they rely on ads since they don't get a penny from the TV Licences

Actually they do get money from the licence fee.
