Although I understand the controversey around NHK, for me I watched it often and agreed to pay because it gave me quality news, documentaries and educational programs for kids with absolutely no commercials. Now I live in the US and am very upset with the TV here. It seems like I pay $60 for 60 channels of cable TV that show very little content compared to SO MANY DAMN COMMERCIALS. And it is obvious the shows including news channels are trying to be clever making sure you watch them by showing interesting "coming next" previews clips 20 minutes ahead and running two or even three sets of commercials in between.
