Broadcast Media: WE - HATE - COMMERCIALS!

I can't remember the last time I watched a movie on a commercial TV channel. The last network show I cared enough to watch (tape) in the past 10 years was E-R - with the original cast.

This AP article tells how the TV networks are trying (again) to get cute - instead of turning their news completely into infotainment - now it's commercials.

Geez Cletus - people aren't watching them! People aren't watching TV at all like they used to in fact.

Time was the local news leader got 30-something shares. Now the leader is fighting for a 20.

Content and commercials - not enough and too many - and TV executives seem to wallow around without so much as a clue.
