Television programs are mostly meaningful content and are made up as little of commercial time as possible.
On the homepage of UniverseToday, the display on my monitor is mostly ads.

First, welcome to the BAUT!
Second, over the years, advertising time for, say, half-hour shows has constantly increased to the point where it represents about 1/3 of the show time, i.e., 20 minutes for content, 10 minutes for ads. And that's not counting the seemingly endless pop-up ads during the content, which keep getting larger and larger and have now added sound effects, to the point now where some shows are unwatchable due to important images and soundtrack parts being obscured/drowned out by the pop-ups.
Most of commercial TV is digging its own grave.
The solution for UT is the ad blocker for Firefox which was previously mentioned. I use it and see no ads.
