Without commercials, how will tv stations pay their employees? TV weathermen, news anchors, sportscasters, receptionists, and the multitudes of people in the background. How do the actors and people behind the scenes on tv programs have to be paid. Of course, the government could take over the broadcasting companies, but then taxpayer dollars (you pay) would subsidize the stations. Public TV is one example, but even there, donations from businesses sponsoring programs even get recognized. So, we may not like them, but they are a necessary evil.
