So they're saying it would only take 9 full days to show 25 years worth of shows.

Wow.

Wow.

Well each half hour episode bar a few hour long specials. 2 episodes an hour to air over 24 hours for 9 days is only 432 episodes.....

[Mr Beefy]

Maybe they wont have as many ad breaks as a normal half hour show would have. BTW 22 episodes/year for 25 years

[Footy Chick]

I don't think anywhere in the world would have as many ad breaks as we do here.

I've actually heard that most stations will only have 1 or 2 small ad breaks during a show and then pack in about 5-10 mins of ads between shows.

Not sure if anyone that's been there can confirm this..

[Booney]

The marathon celebrates FXX's acquisition of the rebroadcast rights to all 25 seasons, all 552 episodes, and ushers the world into a new era of Simpsons geekery. In addition to regularly airing Simpsons episodes from every era — classics and clunkers alike — the network will soon launch an app called Simpsons World that'll have every episode streaming on demand.

I would think no ad breaks at all. As such episodes would be 20-23 minutes?

Ask, my dear, and ye shall receive*

Australia - 18 mins ( or more ) / hour
USA - 16 mins / hour
Europe - 12 mins / hour
France - 9mins / hour


Australian television has one of the highest advertising content in the world. Prime-time can see 18 minutes or more of ads per hour. Furthermore, product ads wrapped up in informational content are labeled "public service announcements" and not included in the time restrictions; similarly with "this program brought to you by..." announcements, and station identifications. Consequently Australian viewers might see less than 40 minutes of actual program time per hour.

In the United States, the Nielsen ratings system measures audience viewership of television programs, and provides a way for television broadcasters to determine how popular their television shows are, so that they can decide what rates to charge advertisers for air time.

For each hour in a broadcast day, advertisements take up a fairly consistent proportion of the time. Commercial breaks have become longer. In the 1960s a typical hour-long American show would run for 51 minutes excluding advertisements. Today, a similar program would only be 42 minutes long; a typical 30-minute block of time now includes 22 minutes of programming and eight minutes of advertisements - six minutes for national advertising and two minutes for local

In many European countries television advertisements appear in longer, but less frequent advertising breaks. For example, instead of 3 minutes every 8 minutes, there might be around 6 minutes every half hour. European Union legislation limits the time taken by commercial breaks to 12 minutes per hour (20%), with a minimum segment length of 20 or 30 minutes, depending on the program content.[

The Conseil supérieur de l'audiovisuel allows up to 9 minutes of advertising per hour on average in a day.

And the tv stations want to increase the amount of ads per hour now
