TV ad cap scrapped, but 1-3% revenue gain may be all broadcasters get

The government’s decision to remove the 12 minute per hour cap on television advertising may give broadcasters more room to sell inventory, but the move is unlikely to materially change the sector’s growth trajectory. Karan Taurani, executive vice president at Elara Capital estimates the policy change could increase industry advertising revenue by only 1% to 3%, as the bigger problem for television is declining audience engagement and weakening advertiser demand rather than a shortage of advertising inventory.
