Article Abstract:
In order to avoid a lawsuit by Alberto Culver Co., ABC (American Broadcasting Cos.) and NBC (National Broadcasting Corp. Inc.) are removing all barriers to the airing of split thirty commercials.

Network affiliates are opposed to the actions taken by ABC and NBC, fearing additional clutter. Other advertisers are pleased with ABC and NBC's relinquishing of the corporate sponsor bridge requirement.
