Ad breaks that aren't

Is anyone else not completely bloody bewildered at the breaks in the ABC news?

"Coming up next, a chair-sniffer leaves his seat."

*Cue ABC blaring music and a squiggle shot*
(Cue first viewer WTF thought).
*Newsreader shuffles a paper while continuing to read from the autocue*
(Cue second viewer WTF).

"Today, Troy Bumsmell..."

(Cue third WTF within 30 seconds. Brain explodes).

A quiet reminder for Aunty, who must be getting senile in her old age, poor pet: YOU'RE A PUBLIC BROADCASTER (yes, she's deaf as well). YOU DON'T HAVE AD BREAKS.
