Thread: NA$SCAR and commercials

Tweet

Do you get the idea that the weekly NA$CAR race is run on TV solely for the commercials? Well this is yesterday's Bristol race:

Beginning at the invocation and ending at the checkered flag - total race broadcast time 138. Total for the race with commercials being broadcast, time 58. That folks is 42% of the time that you are watching the "race" you are being subjected to real close to half of your time to commercials. That was broken down into 127 commercials by 63 different entities. This doesn't include the other crap crawling along the screen - and that was 32(or more).

This is a good website to check out these statistics: http://www.cawsnjaws.com/article/380...-food-city-500
