NEW YORK (AP) — It’s not yourimae
tion. 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.
