The Internet is unique in that individuals can still have web sites but for any professional site it will have advertising and annoying get in your face type these days.

Dale,
Your math is slightly off. On the broadcast channels, some dramas have up to 21 minutes of ads per hour. I think history channel is at least 22 minutes on their shows like Vikings.
