Broadcast television is dying a slow death

Just to ensure that broadcast television continues to die a slow, horrible death we have this news that networks can now show as many commercials as they want. Prior to this, the broadcasters were restricted to 15 minutes of ads per hour. Is it no wonder that more and more people download their video entertainment?

TV broadcasters can now air an unlimited number of ads

Effective September 1, 2009, the federal regulator has removed all advertising limits on conventional television broadcasters such as CTV and CanWest Global. The result is broadcasters will be free to air as many commercials as they want on their television stations. The new policy means viewers can expect more commercials during peak advertising demand periods such as back to school and Christmas time.
