When viewing any news item video on the Sky news app. I cannot watch a video without getting a 20 second advert. So if I decide to choose one news item video I get a 20 second advert. Then if I go to another news video I get another 20 second advert. So if I was to watch all the news videos available on the app at that time I'd have to endure an advert each time I play the video.
This never used to occur on the News app previously and I do expect the odd advert but this is pure commercial overkill on Sky's part.
I also want to stress that I'm not talking about the adverts that are shown as a part of live streaming the live sky news show throughout the day. Though, when you do go to access the live news stream being broadcast, no matter what, you'll get thrown a 20 second advert before the live stream is accessed. Funny as then you may join the live news atream in the middle of a news break/advert cycle.
I appreciate you will run adverts on the live news stream but it is excessive use on the news app itself.
I like sky news but I often won't catch up on the videos due to the ads.
This is not exactly providing and good news service is it.
I wouldn't object if I maybe had to watch one advert of 20 seconds each 30 minutes of use or staggered over a period of usage.
Every video is just nuts.
Very frustrated sky news fan.
