The answer will depend on in what country, in what channel and also at what time of the day.

It depends on the length of the ads, and how many segments per show, but there are 8 minutes of commercials in a half hour show
it's typically 15mins per hour so 22.5 mins
4 and some commercials
If its a full hour of commercials 120, if it in brakes (usually last 3-5 minutes) 24- 40ish's
no days just half an hour
Ninety minutes are in an hour and a half
30 minutes are in half an hour.
There are 5400 seconds in an hour and a half.
A typical TV show is usually approximately 22 minutes for every 1/2 hour of time. So each 1/2 hour show has 8 minutes or so of commercials. Double this for 1 hour shows (16 minutes of commercials for every hour).
It depends on how long the episode is... If it's 30 minutes is about 40 to 50 pages. If it's an hour episode it's around 60 to 80 pages. If it's an hour and a half to 2 hours it's about the size of a movie script, or 100 to 120 pages.
considering that approximately 20-22 minutes of half-hour shows are actually dedicated to the show, and the rest to the commercials, lets assume this channel only has shows that are about 20 min long every half hour (the most extreme case), with no sequences involving commercial free periods. 24 hours in a day, with 48 half hours, and 10 minutes for every half hour going to commercials: 48 half hours * 30 minutes = 1440 minutes and 10/30 ratio of commercials to minutes so 1/3 of 1440 minutes = 480 minutes of commercials in a day, which is the same as 8 HOURS OF COMMERCIALS! Much more than I want to spend my time watching. And just to even this out a bit, assuming that the average half hour shows last 25 minutes instead of 20, then the resulting amount of commercial time per day is still huge: 5 minutes of commercials per 30 minutes=1/6 1/6 *1440 = 240 minutes of commercials. 4 hours of commercials is still huge, but not quite as bad as 480. Imagine all of those car commercials. And politic ads. Aye-Caramba!
