SOLUTION: Make a legal limit the amount of ads on TV.
Many European countries have legal limits to both the minutes per hour and the number of times per hour ads are able to be shown on television. (for example: max 10 minutes of ads in a max of 4 breaks per hour)
This does not lower the quality of television, nor does this mean that only government funded television stations can continue to exist.
What this does is increase the cost of television advertising so that less ads pay for the same product - an arguably better product, because there are fewer ads.
