I'd like to see advertising limited to 10 mins at most per hour with a minimum period of programme between ad breaks and a max duration of any ad break.
There is a average of 6 ad breaks per hour on US tv however the US ad breaks are shorter than the uk for example a average uk ad break is 3 minutes and you get 3 per hour, a USA tv ad break is 90 seconds you get 6 per hour this still equals the same ammount of ad time as UK.
