@… the Current Affairs TV show,I assume. Here in the UK we’re used to seeing shows cut for an ad-supported market such as US. When shown without ads on BBC they tend to run about 43 minutes. Presumably they are expanded to fit a 60-minute slot by inserting ads.

@… Same for TV and film franchises that have a history of tackling social justice themes. Star Trek and Doctor Who immediately come to mind.
