If what you say is true, that TV is only a medium for advertisement, then what
about the shows on PBS?  Surely you can't say Monty Python serves as a promotionfor some company.  Neither does Nova. 

They all have sponsors since someone has to foot the bill.  The problem is, like
you said, that they sacrifice quality of programs for quantity of viewers, which
in turn means moer advertising.
