    Literally the first sentence of that article:

    Although cable television was never conceived of as television without commercial interruption, there has been a widespread impression - among the public, at least -that cable would be supported largely by viewers’ monthly subscription fees.

    The premium services mentioned in your quote (HBO, Showtime) also still do not run ads even today.
