The old metric used by free-to-air networks was advertising minutes per broadcast hour. When I stopped watching FTA about a decade ago that number was about 12 or 13.
Youtube’s must be 40+. I’m not brave enough to rawdog 60 minutes of YT and test it (and of course it wouldn’t be uniform number anyway)
The US FtA adv ratio meant I didn’t watch any TV when I crossed the pond. There just wasn’t any point because for every 10 minutes of content, I have forgotten or lost interest what was happening during the following 5 minutes of ads that follows.
The UK BBC doesn’t have ads within programmes, but now you get to watch a (yet to be outed) Woke paedophile presenting, I’m told. And I grew up here in the 70s.

Anglophone country but I would rather not specify.
Yes the BBC has its own legacy wierdness - and sadly a track record of protecting predators in order to protect itself
All good. No problem.
