ASTRO - ADVERTISING SLOTS TOTALLY RUNNING OVERTIME

LA PRIMADONA SAYS:

Tell you Y

IT’S SO ANNOYING !

I don’t know what I am paying for, to watch the programmes or to watch advertisements more?

Yeah, it was as looking at a picture like the above watching "live" telecast on Astro

This was most obvious during the Olympics Closing ceremony, most of the live telecast was rudely chopped off, forcing us to watch those ghastly commercials. There was little continuity to watching a “live” telecast!

TWO EGGS & MADE TUNA SANDWICHES DURING COMMERCIAL BREAK!

Thereon, I noticed that on some channels, especially for the entertainment and metro packages, I watched longer commercials than the programme itself. Commercials were running 4-5 minutes per slot for 5-6 slots per hour. That’s a total of 24 minutes for an hour show! I could fry 2 eggs and make tuna sandwiches and the commercials were still running after my 2nd bite! Simply RIDICULOUS, IRRITATING AND ANNOYING!

Astro commercials annoy everyone

TRAILERS, TRAILERS, TRAILERS TO DEATH.....

Charlie's Angels La!

There are too many trailers too. Do you really need to advertise so heavily for your own programmes? I saw so many She Spies trailers, I don’t need to see the girls anymore. I have seen it so many times and I can’t even tell you which channel it’s on or when. This is the result of a total OVERKILL, do your people know what that means?

ASTROMAX TO THE RESCUE, BUT THEN AGAIN......

Now I record all such programmes and watch them so that I can fast forward the commercials, so your advertisers are missing at the least one target. This might increase your Astromax sales but you can’t because YOU ARE OUT OF STOCK! (Psst, I will cover another blog on Astromax on another day! Another scary experience.)

OVER REPEATED ADS DEFINITELY KILLS ADVERTISING POTENTIAL BUY INs.

(Yeah, you must be thinking, obviously this one doesn’t know about subliminally getting the message through! Yeah, subliminal assurance to dislike it so much that one would subconsciously develop the need to forget it!)

No more, no more, no moooooore....

Please don't play more commercials

(2 line parody to Alice Keye's "No More" song).....
Is this action subliminal enough for anyone who isn't blind?

The ads and trailers are all repeated versions during every slot and it is so annoying that it angers me against the brand, product and especially ASTRO. I will not buy into it because it has caused daily annoyance to irritate the hell out of my watching my favourite programmes. If you run them long, viewers will just walk away to cook a whole meal, poop or smoke away the minutes, so whose looking at your advertisers’ commercials – NO ONE!

Subscribers are already paying to get good programmes but not the ones that are swarmed by commercial breaks! If I want to put up with that, I will watch the free airtime national channels!


EVER HEARD OF THE SAYING “LESS IS BEST”?

So is

More

or

Less

Better

?

Stop penalizing your subscribers and stop making money out of the advertisers unscrupulously. Why can’t you be off better standard than the norm? Why not consider exclusive programme sponsorships, charge what you want and have each program sponsored by a brand and its product, run it in the beginning and at the end. Have you not heard that LESS IS BEST? I have seen so many ads that I can’t make which brand sells what!

These are the faces we see, view from inside our TV screens when Astro's commercials are on air

10 OUT OF 10 ALREADY HATE YOUR AD SLOTS

Here are the 10, and fan no. 11 especially posed to make his point stronger

I have spoken to no less than 10 people this past hour and all felt the same. Imagine 10 in just an hour, if I keep going, just imagine how hated your ad slots are.

Anyone out there agree with me? Please shout out too! We assure you there will be no commercial breaks to this!

SO CUT OUT THE ADS NOW OR ELSE WE BRAND ASTRO AS

The "Ad Slot Totally Running Overtime" Broadcast Provider and stop our subscription soon.

I am sorry to say it but
