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.

Or they'll do what print media did: make up the lost revenue from the shrinking audience by reducing the size of the product and filling it with even more ads. It's a short term fix for a long term problem, but the business climate favors short term fixes like that. It's got them in a death spiral and TV execs aren't any smarter so expect it to follow.

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.

Yup, and throw an adblock/content blocker in there and the youtube ads go away too.
