hoolala SG the 7pm show on ch8 got 4 commercial breaks??? I thought a 1hr show will only have 3 commercial breaks??? Is it becos that mediacocks is not satisfied with the $$$ they earned form those sms??So they need to play more commercials on tv???
hoolala SG It’s not that I am very gian of the show. But choosing between advertisement and drama, of cos I choose drama. Dunno next time will have 5 commercial breaks anot. $$$ cause them to forget that they got to provide good service to us also.
hoolala SG But cannot all advertisers pay then 1hr show become 30mins right??? It's just unfair to us la
digicharat SG hannor! waste our time! watch one 40 min show must spend 1hr! waste our 20mins of life! knn
coffeeortea SG ya! then those who watch more than one 1 hr show a day.. waste more time!!.. lets say watch 3 shows.. = 1 hr per day.. omg.. 1 yr waste 365 hours..
CKeer SG Wad do u expect? Mediacorp is airing its shows for free. Jus like the newspaper, Today. Do u think they're so good and kind to give out free newspaper everyday? Wrong! They earn lots of money thru advertisements spaces and commercial breaks. Ever wonder how the artistes and employee of Mediacorp get their pay? Cheers. C.K
MosPyramid SG They can have longer ads time than having more interval, si bei sian one lor, watch abit advertise abit. Last time can use ads time to do some other things, now, ads lesser each break but more interval Soon they will 1 min ads 1 min show, WTF!
JennTS SG I think AXN is like that too. in one show they have 4 or 5 commercial breaks. however I think in the end it still finishes before Ch 5 (if they're viewing the same show at the same time. eg. TAR), as their commercial breaks are shorter compared to Ch 5. I miss the old cartoon network. each commercial break only had 1 or 2 advertisements.
humjipeng SG lol. cartoon network is still available at cable tv. I think commercial breaks are good as they allow us to go to toilet, grab some food, and also switch to other channels to see got other good shows or not.
