I like those kinds of programs too . They ’ re very informative . I think that many people underrate the education value of Tv .

I agree . People often criticize Tv for showing too much sex and violence .

Yeah . And that ’ s so funny because most people prefer watching sex and violence to watching something more educational !

Right . You can ’ t blame the tv stations for showing popular kinds of programs . They need to make money from advertisements shown during and between programs .

In my country , there ’ s a time limit on the advertisements that can be shown . I think it ’ s about six minutes per hour .

That ’ s great idea . But don ’ t the Tv station lose a lot of money because of that ?
neutral
assistant
No . they don ’ t . they simply charge higher prices at peak times . Is there no limit on the amount of advertisements that can be shown on Tv in your country ?

Not as far as I know . We have so many advertisements . the interruptions are unbearable sometimes ! That ’ s one reason that many people prefer satellite or cable Tv , where you pay a fixed amount each month .

Some people have satellite and cable Tv in my country , but people don ’ t seem to keen to pay for their Tv programs . Besides , the terrestrial channels offer a good range of programs .
