Would you pay a premium for commercial-less television?

Asked by Grisaille (12048points) June 30th, 2009

For some really odd reason, a thought popped into my head: Why is it that we pay for cable – a premium service – yet still have to sit through commercials every 10 minutes or so?

“It’s the networks that receive checks from the ad companies, not the cable provider!” I told myself, realizing my stupidity.

Then, another thought entered my head: Would a customer pay a premium – say 20 dollars extra/month – for commercial free TV?

I personally don’t watch television all that much (save for the movie channels every so often), so I wouldn’t. What about you?
