Re: TV Winge
Works the other way too!
Few years ago I was taken to watch an apparently very important American football match in Miami. It started at 7 IIRC and finished after midnight. The whole thing was dictated by the TV network showing it live: every few minutes when the ads were on the game was stopped and everyone in the stadium - about 80000 - turned and watched the ads on the big screens. And they'd paid hundreds for the tickets to the match.........
The cheerleaders were tasty though.

Re: TV Winge
Is it just me or is Oz TV annoying.
I started to watch a film last week and every 8 minutes there was a break for adverts, and each break the adverts were the same.
Luckily I do not watch much TV but that was just a pain in the arse.
I now record everything and watch it later, fast forwarding the ads.

Re: TV Winge
And it's the same on most Austar channels - the ones you pay for.
Also so many of the programs - the notionally documentary ones especially - seem to be made by children. At least, that's the way it looks. With all the affects such as speeded-up motion, stop frames, 3D wrap-around freeze-frame etc being so easily done they are over-used to the point of banality.
I find most of the American-made docs unwatchable after a couple of minutes of this trick-cyclist stuff.
I've just switched off (another) doc on the A380 building - effects used ad nauseam.

Cream cakes spring to mind - naughty but nice
Some ads are better than the programmes

I find most Australian Telly (regardless of its broadcast time) is made for children.
