Nearly 20 minutes of a 60 minute TV program are commercials

This fact boggles my mind:
Nearly 20 minutes of almost every hour of TV programming is commercials.
Put another way:
Nearly a third of my TV viewing time is commercials.
It drives me away from network and cable television programming and toward pay sites like Netflix and Amazon Prime.
It’s not that the advertisers sponsoring these programs don’t deserve the money.
The advertisers simply don’t deserve so much of my time.
