I fail to see how that addresses any of the issues we have "earned media" from the cable "news" propaganda (I'm not using that word lightly here) networks or the "Citizen's United" style documentary production which would not likely be curtailed by the change you propose. All you do is shift the money from being thrown at the 16 minutes per hour of advertisement blocks to the 44 minutes per hour where we don't notice we are being advertised to.
