Q. Why do networks show pop-up ads during programs? A. because that’s when more viewers are actually viewing. Let’s have some ratings based on ad breaks, it’s what the advertisers want. Perhaps the figures are too depressing! BTW with 30% of screen-time devoted to ads, I time-shift everything, as my moniker suggests.
