Are those watching MSNBC on tv seeing no commercials?

[hlthe2b]

but as those streaming online, only a hard driving beat type of music with each break? Is it possible they have lost this many sponsors?

1. NO, same ads as usual and just as many. nt

2. No, same ads, same mute. ;-(

3. That's not the way it works, h.

There are contracts in place with renewal dates.

Someone might drop Beck overnite and get away with it because Beck/FOX is not about to draw attention to it if they don't need to.

NBC/Comcast ain't letting nobody out of a contract.

In my opinion, you are better off with "hard driving beat type of music" than the commercial dreck that normally shows on MSNBC during breaks.

4. They dropped the usual string of promos that run on-line

probably 'cause they don't have a new set made up without the Olbermann promo.

Not exactly sure how they do it, but the promos always seemed to be like a continuous loop that would start when the on-air commercials did to cover the commercials for on-line. Why they don't just run the commercials is a mystery.

9. Yes... you are right.... Makes sense.

7. So am I ... that's why the absence of commerciasl was strange.

8. You weren't watching commercials on-line. You were watching promos.

[hlthe2b]

6. Strange. I thought justintv was just streaming someone's

live broadcast, so I'd think I would be seeing the same commercials.

[Tx4obama]

10. Nope.

Online there was only promos.
On TV they have real product commercials along with the occasional promo.
