Remote Free TV Debuts in ‘Fringe’

Sep 10, 2008  •  Post A Comment

Fox unveiled its Remote Free TV format with the premiere of “Fringe” Tuesday night, and movie companies took up the bulk of the limited commercial time available in the show.
As the show began, Fox told viewers the program was being “presented with shorter commercial breaks,” and before most of the breaks, the network ran a graphic that said how long it would be before the show resumed.
In the first break, which started about 16 minutes into the show, there were 30-second spots for 20th Century Fox’s film “Max Payne” and for AT&T. The national breaks totaled no more than 90 seconds apiece.
Later spots advertised the films “Quantum of Solace,” “Miracle at St. Anna,” “Eagle Eye,” “Burn After Reading,” “Body of Lies” and “Lakeview Terrace.”
Also advertising on the show were video game Spore, Ford and asthma medication Symbicort.
Among the national advertisers in local breaks were Geico, Barilla Pasta, Subway, Pepsi and HBO, the latter pushing its new series “True Blood.”
Fox sold “Fringe” in the upfront as part of its Remote Free TV format, which carries half the ads of its regular programming. The format is designed to increase viewing and reduce the amount of DVR fast-forwarding during commercial breaks.

  1. “Remote Free TV?”. Hmmm. what WAS that electronic device I was using to fast forward through the commercials?
    “reduce the amount of DVR fast forwarding during the commericial breaks…” True only in the literal sense. I did indeed have to hold the FF button for only three seconds instead of ten…

  2. Great post!

  5. Lindsay Lohan Will Go to Treatment Today. The best choice at the least being in treatment means that she might not abuse her bail conditions and be thrown in jail till the hearing. If on the hearing her main violation had been determined for being the one failed illegal drug test then a sentence ought to be thirty days in prison that’s it.

  34. Between me and my husband we’ve owned more MP3 players over the years than I can count, including Sansas, iRivers, iPods (classic & touch), the Ibiza Rhapsody, etc. But, the last few years I’ve settled down to one line of players. Why? Because I was happy to discover how well-designed and fun to use the underappreciated (and widely mocked) Zunes are.
