Same goes for movie theaters. Showtime will say starts at 7PM. When it actually starts at 7:20 due to 8-9 trailers, ads for the theater itself and ads for local businesses now.

It goes even beyond that. If you watch shows on reruns, they will speed up the play back to fit in even more adds. It can lead to weird pacing issues if you already know the original episode well.
