> 400 commercials So one day of watching? A regular one-hour-long TV show has about 4 commercial breaks, each with about 10 commercials, so that's 40 commercials an hour. If one was really into the Olympics, they might have their TV on for at least 10 hours during the day (while sometimes doing other tasks). 10 hours * 40 comercials an hour = 400 commercials a day. Sports broadcasts usually have more commercial breaks of shorter varrying lengths, but I'd estimate it averages the same, if not a higher commercial count per hour.
