Cable TV Financial Channels

[Pavel Svinchnik]

I frequently tune into the financial channels during the day, Fox Business News (FBN) and Bloomberg. I've noticed lately that FBN is being overwhelmed with commercials. It seems that whenever I tune them in, there's a commercial on. And it's not just one commercial; they do strings of six or eight. Hardly worth the effort, so I spend most of my time on Bloomberg, which has much fewer commercial breaks.

It is getting bad on Fox. Way too many and too long commercials.

The original selling points of pay TV was no ads, now they run more ads than free local TV, which is why we dropped them over 10 years ago; they kept jacking up prices and dropping channels every other month. Paying to watch TV is a form of mental illness.
