Re: [TV orNotTV] Amazon Prime Going to Ads

Peacock doesn't allow FFing breaks unless with some archived programs, but 
I've only tried it with Dan Patrick.
I hope the Zon uses some of this increased revenue to improve the supposed 
audio issues with Thursday Night Football...

Since I first posted this, I've seen that Amazon says that the ads will 
come before the actual program starts (and I assume you can't fast forward 
them).

So, if we could extrapolate that would be 9 min of ads per hour for free tv
thru Amazon, 4 min of ads per hour for $15/month, and 0 min of ads for
$18/month. By that measure the extra $3 to eliminate the last 4 min of ads
is a pretty good deal.

There’s three commercial breaks in the 2013 era of Neighbours that I’m 
currently watching, and they usually run up or 90 seconds in length.
 
As for 60-minute dramas, YMMV.

[TV orNotTV] Amazon Prime Going to Ads

2023-09-22 Thread Mark Jeffries 
Beginning next year, the fee you pay for free two-day delivery and other 
things will give you ads on Amazon Prime (although they say only four 
minutes an hour)--an extra $2.99 a month will give you no ads (and of 
course, Amazon's FAST service Freevee continues with ads):

https://www.thewrap.com/amazon-prime-video-ad-tier-cost/

Which leaves AppleTV+ as the only major streamer that's totally 
commercial-free (except for MSL soccer)--it should be noted that Peacock 
and Paramount+'s movies do not contain ads, as well as HBO programming on 
Max (which includes HBO's movies).  Hulu does put ads in the first 
half-hour of films, with some exceptions.
