    In Poland average commercial break take around 10-15 minutes. It is so bad that even our shitty bootlicking government felt the need to regulate that, but of course they fucked up and it changed nothing. There are more commercial time in TV than the non-commercial time, and the public TV is not much better than the private one despite hevy subsidies and mandatory subsription from every home (27,50 PLN monthly as of now).

      pretty sure theres EU regulation that should limit the ads to a certain percentage of the show. Except in cases the show is a comercial itself.

      So is Poland not following EU regulations?

      Sounds like NPR (National Public Radio) here in the states. They’re not allowed to run ads, so instead they basically have infomercials about the all the wonderful philanthropic things their sponsors do, since in American even publically-owned media outlets still somehow have big coporate backers. Which somehow manages to be the the least obnoxious part of their programming, since at least it provides a break from the continual libbery, shitting on the working class, and unabashed pro-Israel propaganda.
