Love MSNBC but their ad department sucks.

How many times do I have to watch the same dumb ad for a series on some other channel that's about a NASCAR drive, his wife and 2 friends?

Can't you find creative, insightful ad content? Why not promote new tech opportunities, instead of this drival.

If I see that dynomite Medicare Advantage commercial one.more time I'm going to lose it. It is so repetitive.

There is a trade saying, "If it pays it stays." As long as the clients check is good they will run the legs off of any ad, i.e. "I've fallen and I can't get up."

I still have nightmares.

So often, at least here, their audio quality is so bad, I just switch to another channel.

but now that they failed to stop IRA, we don’t have to watch their lies any more—for now.

They might refuse an ad but I'm sure they appreciate their advertisers who keep them on the air.

on almost all the cable channels. I see them do it on food network, lifetime network, hgtv, etc. What irritates me is I will be watching my local ABC or NBC channel and see an ad for our local fox station.

and the free streaming services. Same limited number of ads, can't fast forward, totally irrelevant ads.
