NO TV Commercials on french TV from 6pm to 6am !

[Alex]

Questions that immediately come to mind:

1. If any of the channels are privately run companies why is it any business of the government to tell them when they can or can't run commercials?

2. Are these broadcast channels only or do they include non-broadcast networks too?

3. If commercials are so evil why are only the gainfully employed protected from them but housewives and the unemployed aren't?

4. It sounds like a stupid law as much as I would prefer commercial free.
