The TV stations charge more and sell more ad slots. It's going to get difficult to justify when audience numbers start falling off over the next 20 years.

So the solution is get netflix, or what other various options are availabe. Poor mans option just watch lovely youtube videos and only deal with 15 seconds of advertising.

The question I have is why does Cable TV costs hundreds of dollars when so many channels are filled to the brim with commercials and movies on the "premium channels" aren't even shown in their correct aspect ratio. HBO, Starz, Showtime, Encore among others are constantly displaying 2.35:1 films in 16:9 (1.77:1).

Lack of competition. This is where the free market would actually help improve the quality of service. Taking away social welfare benefits, including monopolies, from corporations and companies in the broadcast sector would help (the consumer).
