OTOH for both the Canadian and US broadcasts I have heard some fans state that there should be no ads at all and that just isn't realistic.
The ads (ad breaks not on screen instrusions) have to be there and it sounds like some broadcasters are handling them better than others. I was very happy with how CBC handled them and that's why I posted an example of how the CBC placed the ad breaks in Rose last April.
I didn't say that fans shouldn't gripe about badly placed, intrusive or on screen ads but if and when they do get it right (like I feel the CBC did) there's no longer much value in griping.
