Which tv station shows the LEAST commercials? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

On the subject of the thread about the station that shows the most commercials, which one (not counting PBS stations, Premium channels, local channels that show text) shows the least? I am thinking MeTV but I am probably wrong.

I'd say DECADES-they only show 2-3 commercial every break.

For many programs MeTV shows 23:00 of program and 7:00 of commercials per half hour. With many other nets you're lucky to get 20:00 of program per half hour.

Decades gets my vote, followed by Me-TV.

Maybe LAFF TV.

TCM and the Encore stations are commercial free. Also, the music choice stations on Comcast have no commercials.

Technically, the Disney Channel is nearly commercial free, but it shows a lot of promotional stuff and other non-program breaks.

Yes, if you're looking for unedited programs, the Encore channels are the place to go.

Actually, Mary Tyler Moore is on Sundance on demand. Now, they have commercials but seems like there complete episodes with no credit crunch.
