FUM Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 They don't really have ads as often as that, a lot of it is advertising tours in USA etc that they just cut to an ad break on Sky Sports for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â No the advert breaks are as often on the USA Network. It's just that sometimes WWE will promote something of their own 30 seconds before they go back to the live feed. This sometimes results in Sky airing a few seconds of this as they rejoin the USA Network simulcast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I usually prefer USA method of a longer ad break at start and end of shows so can watch all of the middle uninterrupted as well. Or at least that's how Lost was!

The Dart Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 (edited) A live episode of Raw has adverts every five fucking minutes. It's insufferable. How does that compare to UFC and other TV shows over there? Ad rates might be low for WWE but they must coin it in through sheer volume. Â Whatever they have on Raw is normal for American TV. Â You must watch American shows here where it's obvious it goes to an ad break, but it doesn't, if you know what I mean. They don't really have ads as often as that, a lot of it is advertising tours in USA etc that they just cut to an ad break on Sky Sports for. I don't think that's true. Â We get the same amount of ad breaks when we watch it live as they do, they just last a bit longer for us, because certain stuff being promoted specifically to an American audience, or stuff where promoting it is against broadcasting laws here or whatever we just get that Raw logo for a bit. Â Â Sorry - others replied saying the same thing while I was thinking about something else. Edited May 18, 2016 by The Dart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Big Benny HG Posted May 18, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted May 18, 2016 In general, US TV has more individual ad breaks than would be typical for UK TV, but UK ad breaks would be longer. The actual total number of minutes of ads in each, say, hour is about the same (about 16mins each hour). Â Obviously we get the US-style ad break numbers/lengths when we watch a live airing of a US show, like a WWE Raw or a UFC FS1 Fight Night.

the_mole Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 (edited) WWE Raw isn't live in the West Coast is it? Â Usually Sports are aired live in the States, The UFC on Spike usually aried in tape delay in the West coast and I think Bellator does the same with HBO Boxing After Dark. Â I think Nitro used to air live then an immediate replay straight after Edited May 19, 2016 by the_mole Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's going to exceed that, UK broadcasters need to fill the rest of the time with promo content. Edited May 19, 2016 by d-d-d-dAz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Channel 4 got wrapped for it, but they still did it  http://www.campaignlive.co.uk/article/528760/channel-4-found-breach-rules-ad-break-timing-lost Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d-d-d-dAz Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 Placement is different from amount. Â If you've got an hour show, you can still only take 3 internal breaks and a 4th Junction Break if the show is ending. Â Channel 4 are serial offenders for pissing about with placements, though.
