TRAI-New advertisement rules

Down here, the local channels screens have these annoying scrolling and flashing ads on bottom that occupies half of the screen. Regional channels are showing shows and movies as advertisements...

Good to hear something like this from the Govt.
*faith in humanity a little restored*

But I fear all these media lobbies filing a case and making this not happen :(

What about those stupid shows after 11pm in some channels?Where some ugly girls keeps shouting to guess the blurred face on tv screen to win a jackpot.The stupid caller calls in and says salman khan instead of akshay kumar(which is obvious at first look of image blurred and they provoke people to call in).I think such shows should be banned.They just charge around 10 to 30 rs per minute if you call that number and even if you are on hold.

Really good news. Looks like I will not be pulling out my hair anymore because of the frequent ads.

But, I think, now advertisers will look for alternative means of advertising, such as making the product part of a serial (like a scene where it is used, discussed), or they might concentrate more on newspapers/magazines.

I know this is not related to this news but will they take out the FUP thing as well for internet?

I seriously hope they do.

I think 12 minutes in an hour is a bit low, they should have kept at least 15 minutes.
Now before you people start shouting at me, here's the reason in a very simple sentence:
This will push up cable channel prices because ad revenue will go down.

^^ I dont think so.
Shows get sponsors,Each add is around 20-80 Lakhs So i highly Doubt that ;).
These days Indian Soaps also have sponsors.So they cover up their cost on nearly everything
