About the first 13 minutes is really good with maybe one commercial break in the middle of it. But after that it's 50% commercials 50% news. Just wedging news segments in between commercials. Very distracting and chaotic. I keep asking myself in the second half "why am I watching this"? Besides that a lot of it is infotainment pieces.
