Best Answer

The purpose of cable TV is not to eliminate commercial advertisement, but to provide more channels with better reception than you can get by means of a TV antenna.

Cable started initially by providing regular broadcast television to areas with poor reception. As cable became more widespread, cable-only channels were added, some commercial-free fee-based ones, and some commercial channels. If you check your cable guide, you will find that MANY of the cable-only channels have commericials.
