“No, I canceled cable because it’s nothing but 100 channels of noise.”
Same here. The rate of commercials seems to have tripled over the past few years as well.

I canceled DISH this past week and have enjoyed spending more time with the kids and wife.
The MIL came in last night and was upset that we did not have TV so that we could The Ohio State Buckeyes. I told her that they were off this weekend.

The rate of commercials seems to have tripled over the past few years as well.
A one-hour program from the 60s-70s has about 48 minutes of content.
Today, a one-hour program has about 39-41 minutes of content.
Just last year, the TV broadcast industry reduced the content from about 41-43 minutes per hour by adding about 3% more commercials.
And they wonder why the viewership is dropping.
I frequently will record a tv program to DVR and watch it via the DVR player just so I can skip through the commercials.
