i find it annoying here, we have commercial breaks every 5 minutes on our dutch channels, that is for me a reason i go to other country's channels such as BBC, or german tv whose commercials seem lesser annoying for me
but how does everyone else think of commercial breaks, and (since i don't have the ITV, Channel 4, Channel 5 on my tv) how long do commercials take there, and does anyone else find it annoying? |

I prefer to watch stuff on BBC so it's uninterrupted. And I tend to watch a lot of films and box sets. I do watch ITV sometimes and I just put up with the ads.

Adverts are every 15 mins in the UK and last 3-4 minutes

I normally just put up with ads on TV, they only last 3-4 mins. If it’s on YouTube I find it more annoying, for example if I have a song mix playing and then it just cuts to an ad.

Yeah if I’m watching something on a channel with adverts, I’ll record it and start watching on a 20-ish minute delay. It just means I get to skip the adverts, but I’m not too far behind everyone else watching.

I only ever watch on the internet so don't have to deal with ads. I remember when we went on holiday to America when I was a teen the ads really made me rage as they seemed to be every 5 mins and for like 15 mins at a time

It's annoying, but it's how the channels and production companies make money, so it's a necessary evil unless every channel gets BBC style funding or becomes pay-per-view.

Endless recapping in programmes gets on my nerves though

Gahh, it is irritating when shows are bookended with "last time" and "next time" ... I understand reminding the audience of what's happened and whetting their appetite, but still ...

Oh yeah that too. I’ll leave a longer delay for talent show results and things like that because from the half hour show I’m only bothered about the guest performer and the result - not 20 minutes of performance recaps and app downlold prompts

15mins is the normal time before a break. If you record your shows you can Fast Forward the ads. |
