Queen’s Jubilee: ITV cuts commercials after showing the king in the crowd

Viewers of the ITV Queen’s Platinum Jubilee Celebration were split over the Sunday night special, as some were unhappy with the amount of advertising.

While many viewers loved the content and saw the Queen smiling at the performances and performances, others complained about the “interruption” of the broadcast.

With it airing on ITV, with some parts live and some pre-recorded, that means occasional commercials are still available.

This is normal with coverage on this channel, including live shows and the Queen’s televised celebrations are no exception.

But some believe that the special performance, commemorating the 70th anniversary of the king’s accession to the throne, should have little or no time off for the occasion.

Others confessed that they were distracted by constant interruptions due to interrupted airtime, even arguing that it should have been broadcast on the BBC.

However, many others urged people not to complain and enjoy the show as they celebrated the Queen’s important milestone.

It looked rather divided on Twitter, as people shared their thoughts on the show, which is scheduled to air for two hours and 45 minutes on ITV.

One frustrated fan tweeted: “Really wish there was an option to watch the whole show without interruption. I get # ITV has to make money but I just want to watch the show.”

Another viewer said: “Why oh why are there more ads than content for Queens Jubilee?? If this is going live then why are we sitting around watching so many pieces? Poor thing. ..”

A third viewer commented, “Didn’t love the coverage so far… too many ads – I know, I know – but it still ruins the whole thing”, as another agreed: ” @itv tonight more ads have been aired than actually seeing any platinum celebrations, why?”

Even so, some viewers still loved the show and weren’t captivated by the commercials or pre-recorded footage.

One viewer said: “Wow, I’m enjoying it. There’s a lot more to come, be patient, but stop the bloody whine if you don’t like it, turn it off! You have a choice! Admittedly the BBC would have been better off without ads.”

Another fan said: “Really enjoyed the Queen’s Platinum Anniversary on ITV.”

A third commented: “Everybody whines about it and breaks and Philip schofield why not just focus on the fact that we’re watching our Queen watch the horse in action. that she loves and the fact that it is her.”

The Queen’s Platinum Jubilee Celebration can be watched on ITV Hub.
