SummerBayLocal Posted October 29, 2008 Report Share Posted October 29, 2008 Yes there is three ad breaks in Aus. It is actually in every 30 min show. There are 6 ad breaks in every 60 min show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieHT Posted October 29, 2008 Report Share Posted October 29, 2008 (edited) I know, I used to live in Australia. It's a pain that they've suddenly changed (do they do the same with Neighbours??), now I have to miss the end of H&A or the beginning of The One Show :crying: Edited October 29, 2008 by JamieHT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedwayfanatic Posted October 29, 2008 Report Share Posted October 29, 2008 I am not sure I will get used to it! Yes, they are doing the same with Neighbours Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petetown Posted October 31, 2008 Report Share Posted October 31, 2008 (edited) Its so annoying. The put in 2 commercial breaks usually only a few seconds/scenes away from an obvious fade out where an Aus commercial break would've been - WHY!!!!!!!!! So annoying! Also it seems to be an All Saints series 5 reunion on H&A atm First Conrad Coleby then Josh Quong-Tart and now (I think - the credits were too squashed to read) Ben Tari as Murray. I remember a scene months ago with Miles and Roman where Roman said "I think I've seen you somewhere before" - I had to laugh as I wanted him to say - "YES - All Saints Hospital" Edited October 31, 2008 by petetown Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marthajacklover Posted October 31, 2008 Report Share Posted October 31, 2008 Hi all, i emailed channel 5 the other day to find out about the 2 ad breaks during Home and Away on fiveri so hope this clears it up for people, and this is the reponse that i got: Thank you for your recent enquiry. We have now started to transmit two advertising breaks in the early evening episodes of Home And Away and Neighbours on FIVER and have removed the break that was previously included between the programmes. Five is regulated by Ofcom (as are the other UK commercial broadcasters) and we schedule our commercial breaks under very strict guidelines. The total amount of advertising minutage we are allowed to schedule has not changed since 2002 when the total amount of peak allocation increased. However, our advertisements are more likely to be placed in and around programmes that attract more viewers and at times when those viewers are likely to be watching although we are still limited as to how long and how often breaks are scheduled.

Slade Posted November 1, 2008 Report Share Posted November 1, 2008 I see! So what they are saying basically is that they can have as many breaks as they wish as long as they don’t go over the total number of minutes that each station is allotted for a particular program, which is of a particular duration.

pembie Posted November 19, 2008 Report Share Posted November 19, 2008 I did find todays episode funny first we had Kristy say she didnt know how to make a cocktail she didn't know about computers when she worked at the school does she lie about what she does for every job she would go for but the really funny bit was when Melody's mother told Geoff she wanted to perform a exorcism on Melody that made me burst out laughing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
