What's a commercial?
Embedded advertising is the future.
when that happens or i should say gets more annoying i will cancel my cable. Some shows already do the in show advertising. they usuallyy take up 1/3 of the bottom of the screen.
Embedded advertising is OK by me, if it doesn't become overly intrusive.
If all cars are Fords or Toyotas in a show I won't care. Or if the drink on the cops desk is a McDonalds cup or a Starbucks large coffee, then OK too. But if the dialog of a character includes "I love my Chevy" 10 x in a half hour, then that is going too far.

I agree. I hate those dancing animations some networks allow to be in the bottom left corner of a running show.

Essentially, advertisers are beginning to realize that, and advertising rates are beginning to fall. That will make less and less money available for television production, regardless of equivocations.
Perhaps, but I suspect rates for well scripted shows will fall less than for "reality".
said by bicker :
This is and shall continue to prompt less and less scripted programming on OTA broadcast television, and will prompt a move to put scripted programming behind the fence of subscription fees, which is a more reliable revenue stream (i.e., to cable networks.)
For years I've ignored the national networks, but lately I've been surprised by shows like ABC's Defying Gravity, and Fox's Fringe.
If a subscription becomes necessary for scripted shows, then I'll try drop the basic cable drivel and use that money for those premium channels instead.
Anything to avoid "reality" shows.
