There are so many commercial ads between cable shows nowadays. Doesn’t it distract and annoy you when you watch cable television shows? Specifically, I’m speaking about the little ads for other cable shows on the same channel. You know, the little characters that smile and stand next to the title of their show. So now the viewer is subjected to five or more minutes of commercial ads between the show segments and the little ads at the bottom of the screen. In addition, these ads during the shows have become more common and some are larger and more distracting.
Originally, cable channels charged in order to provide more show time and fewer advertisements. What happened to that concept? Just another example of consumers being ripped off by a service we pay for at a premium price!
Consider this to be my annoying little advertisement.
Just one of the many reasons that I don't have cable. I don't mind watching the ads on over-the-air TV, because that's what keeps it free. But if I'm *paying* for it, then it darn well better be ad-free, or close to it.

You are not alone. My sister and her family don't have cable either. Glad you stopped by and commented. Thank you and come again.
