The Cost of Commercials

25%-33% of football, basketball, hockey, and baseball broadcasts are commercials — up to 60 minutes per game, not even counting halftime. Over a lifetime of sports viewing, that adds up to about 80 days spent just watching ads (≈115,860 minutes).

Sonara helps you reclaim over 40 hours every season — avoiding thousands of subtle behavioral nudges designed to influence you.
