Korean TV and advertising

09:34 show ends. Advertising starts.
09:50 we get the announcement for the next show.
09:51 advertising starts again. Pretty much the same ads as before.
09:59 show starts.
10:20 show interrupts for more ads
10:25 show resumes
10:39 show ends

Total advertising time: 33 minutes in about an hour…

And on and on and on… Amazing. This is on OCN, but other channels show a similar pattern.

I should invest in a startup making a Korean version of TiVo

    Catch On and Catch On Plus, baby!

    Though, you have to pay…sigh. Nothing good in life is free.
