Nat Geo and Turner at TCA: Cutting Commercial Loads

Beverly Hills, CA – One of the hot topics during the cable days at the Summer 2016 Television Critics Association tour was commercials – or, rather, the reduction thereof. Two top network groups – Turner Networks and National Geographic Television Networks – are leading the charge toward fewer commercials in their programming, resulting in more time for producers to tell their stories, more content for viewers to enjoy and higher prices for advertisers who want to be included in certain of their shows.
