I still remember the local ads. We still had to watch ads on live tv. Just a few shows that were recorded got to be ad free.
The Captain made “famous” ads back in the 90s. youtu.be/-vEXqG54hCw

My mom watched Coronation Street. She wasn’t home when it was on because she had a job like so many other people.
We got this VCR that would record the show then erase the commercials because networks couldn’t resist playing ads louder so it would detects the volume increase and tag those as ad starts and finishes. When you went back to watch the show the ads would fast forward.
