Question

I need to create a TV program for TV + Ad schedule
Basically it displays Tv a portion of the time and every so often there is a break for a couple of commercials. I would like to create a program for 45 commercials per hr. Each commercial is 30 seconds long ... SO program plays ads approximately 22.50 minutes of the hr

Answer 1

hahah @Kainui im just venting

Answer 2

I wasn't even reading lol

Answer 3

45 commercials per hour? O_o

I hope each commercial is a second long then.

Answer 4

Each commercial is 30 seconds long -.-

Answer 5

I know. haha

What is your question exactly wanting us to do?

Answer 6

I need to create it in the most efficient manner ... Like i dont want the audience to get frustrated soo often

Answer 7

like do you think Longer amt of TV + longer breaks for commercials better then Short amt of TV + Short breaks for commercials???

Answer 8

Like what do you guys prefer???

Answer 9

I prefer no ads at all. :)

Answer 10

hahahaha

Answer 11

Well I know there's some thing like while sitting in lectures that people are focused for the first 30 minutes, then sort of blank out, then they blank out again after like 15 minutes, so you might want to try to put the commercials at completely non regular intervals lol

Answer 12

So... lets say total commercials is for 22.5 minutes then I suppose we can slip it up in to 4 times where there would be an ad break

Answer 13

hahahaha kai

Answer 14

we wouldn't want to bore out the viewers with a 10 minute ad :)
But then not interrupt their show 10 times with a 2 minute ad.

Answer 15

ya this is too much for me to decide ... cant make a silly decision like that

Answer 16

Is this an assignment or your actual job? haha

Answer 17

actual job lol

Answer 18

I think once you're in a string of commercials it's not bad, but starting and stopping a lot is super irritating

Answer 19

Ya I think so tooo
Gonna try to lengthen them

Answer 20

@Mimi_x3 Now I know who to blame ;)

Answer 21

what is the content of the TV channel? I think that also makes a huge difference.

Answer 22

Like don't most shows already naturally have time cut into it?

Answer 23

Ummm most times its sports

Answer 24

Like the climax of their plots?

Answer 25

or boring news channel

Answer 26

Well do you have any data, surely there is data out there on this

Answer 27

Because usually they have an ad in the middle of the show and at the end of a show and the beginning of the next show

Answer 28

Like I have program / software and we override the TV
Meaning we can schedule when to play TV or whtvr the hell we want ... its a digital signage software
Like its not like I work for some channel where they actually sell ads for their channel
DO you get it?

Answer 29

Hour starts
15 commercials
show
15 commercials
show
15 commercials
show
Hour ends

Probably best, but this is armchair philosophy so... lol

Answer 30

And that would be like 7 1/2 minutes of ad in the middle. They can take a nap during that time ;)

Answer 31

hmmm maybe ill divide it into 4 cuz no one will look at ads for like 8 minutes straight ... they will kill me especially if its in middle of the playoffs

Answer 32

I got a better ideaP

Answer 33

How about we speed up the ads into 15 seconds?

Answer 34

happy birthday steven.

Answer 35

just make it all adds at the beginning and then the rest of the hour is the show, no problem

Answer 36

You know how when the person is talking like super fast. xD

Answer 37

Answer 38

Steven and Aviv share Bdays .. strange

Answer 39

Answer 43

rockie? idk whatever. Ok so your tv thing, I guess you can do it that way, 3 or 4. Personally I don't watch tv so like whatever

Answer 44

Answer 45

The ads never bothered me anyways...

Answer 46

ya i dont either watch TV
I wish i had a program which sensed when the actual channel was airing commercials so I can hop along at that point too

Answer 47

I was thinking about staggering it like pascal's triangle like 1 3 3 1 for just like relative weights of breaks with commercials in between

Answer 48

ok pls give it a try :)

Answer 49

Or maybe actually like 3 1 1 3

Answer 50

No one wants long ads during their show

Answer 51

You mean you didnt watch the awesome superbowl commercials?! Shame on you!

Answer 52

Yeah I meant 1,3,3,1 are the relative lengths of show time, I mean "Breaks" from commercials... lol...

Answer 53
