    I heard tell from a Gen Xer who said cable TV used to not have ads.

      You’re lying. I can’t imagine this so it must be false!

      Our national tv channel is lawfully barred from running commercials.

      They just changed the definition of ads they run to “messages of commercial importance” or some dumb shit like that. And just like that, ads on the national channel are suddenly a-ok

        PBS here has ads. They are short, but there are ads nonetheless. This is over and above the ads for their own shows that will be on the channel at a later date.
