What's a mother to do... that is the question. I wonder if stations are truly limited to the amount of commercials that they have in a hour and why these obnoxious banner/logo ads are not counted in? It would seem to me they are just another form of a commercial that happens to advertise the station instead of some third party. Who regulates the stations anyway? Is it the FCC or some other governing body. Is there really a limit on how much advertising a station can do in one hour?

Lets see if we can find out the details on this first. If we can come up with angle, then a petition is not a bad idea. We could start it here, post references to it on other forums, and see what develops.

If someone "knows" what type of guidelines are in place to control commercial time on TV, please either post it or link it.

Thanks
