That essentially puts the content to commercial ratio at 2:1. For every two minutes of show you get one minute of commercial. Despicable.

That's what you get with the commercial broadcasting model we have in the US. The whole business model is built on delivering eyeballs to advertisers. Programming is just a cost. And it's a cost that has risen at a time when advertisers are cutting their marketing budgets.
