If I payed the TV station $12.94 /month I would call them and complain. Also being one that works at a TV Station we do get calls from people complaining about commercials... sounds dumb but people do it.

And before you say, I don't pay for TV... I beg to differ to those who have subscription services like cable or satellite.

When you pay your cable bill none of that money goes to channels that show advertisements. If you have basic cable the money goes soely to the cable company for operating costs. None of the stations on cable get a check from the cable company epect for HBO, Pay-per-View, Spice Channel, etc. So you are really only paying to get the stations in higher quality and for more channels (paying for the cable companys sat. dish garden, 24/7 techs to keep the cable working, 24/7 phone support, etc). Then you can pay extra to get stations that dont show commercials and that money does go to those stations.
