The number of commercials on prime-;: TV is at an all-time high, and it’s even start® worry the people who make the ads. Each hour of prime-time network televis contained an average of 16 minutes, 43 secs of advertising last November, a jump of 59 onds in just a year, according to the American;, soeiation of Advertising Agencies. Advertising “clutter” was already at anal high in 1998. The amount of ad time has gone by nearly a minute and a half in just two years. The dramatic increase has some advenis concerned that their messages are being lost in Hood of commercials, in-house promotions] public service announcements. “1 would suggest there is a direct conelati between the increase in clutter and a diminishm in the effectiveness of our creative campaign!, said Steve Grubbs of the advertising tirmBBDi Worldwide. Added John Mandel of (irey Advertising: the television industry does not recognize-1 that they are killing the golden goose, the;nil lose the battle for the attention of consumensil their content and the attention ofadvertisersasitl major advertising vehicle.” A strong economy has increased the amountf ad\ertisers wanting to get on TV. There ista particular tlood of ads by dot-coin companies tl’s use television to create an image. At the same time, TV networks are bens squeezed by increased programming costs- the extra ad time is a temptation too hard to resist An ABC executive criticized the study,say® it didn't take into account fluctuations since measures only one week. Alex Wallau, ABC president of network administration and opera tions, said ABC has kept ad time steady forit most popular shows over the past two years, though more commercials were added in sonieof the lower-rated shows. “ We have to be sensitive to the viewers and# also have to be sensitive to our buyers," Walli said. “We cannot create an environmentthath comes too cluttered.” None of the four major networks stand outi 1 a particular culprit. ABC' had the greatest average ad time, at 16:57 per hour, and CBS was theleasl at 16:32. Yet CBS had the most dramatic increase; it was up 1:47 from the year before.
