S8E03 - A Matter of Time: The History of Commercial Lengths

This week, we look at the history of commercial lengths. From the very first 10-minute radio commercial in 1922, to five-second commercials today, the length of ads has changed dramatically over the decades. But it’s not the changing lengths of commercials that’s so fascinating. It’s the reasons why. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
