Honestly I think it's just a shit idea. Only way I could see it flying is if you heavily (or completely) subsidized the cost of the television. There's already a company giving away free ad supported TVs.

Oh yeah it's obviously a shit idea, but that generally doesn't stop executives when they think there's money to be made – considering how eg. YouTube's trying to stop you from blocking ads and will apparently start showing ads when videos are paused, requiring attention seems like a logical next step to drive that CPM up to fund the CEO's new yacht
