There was a brief and glorious time when Pay Cable was billed as being ad-free. You would still see promos for other shows and channels between shows, but there were no commercial breaks!

Same as BBC in the UK.

Maybe a 5-10 sec “And next on BBC 1 is blah blah and on BBC 2 we have blah blah starting at 7 o’clock”

Of course you “have” to pay for it, though (if you don’t pay nobody would know).

Oh shit, I forgot about that being a thing. Wow, how the fuck did society get so accustomed to dealing with that BS? Granted, we almost broke out of it when streaming became mainstream, but it looks like we’re about to get a screwed right back into it.
