unclevlad Posted September 20, 2022 Report Share Posted September 20, 2022 22 hours ago, death tribble said: Some of the TV channels are not broadcasting out of respect for the funeral. Others are not showing adverts. Think about that. Giving up revenue for a day. Would that be done elsewhere ? Not for a full day, IIRC, but after 9/11, the networks were broadcasting news only, and there weren't many, if any, ads. This might have been just during the day, too...especially covering the WTC tower collapse. Also, IIRC, CNN went commercial-free for a very extended period on Jan. 6th. And maybe not entirely commercial free well into the night, as the electoral college process played out...but there were TONS of breaks in that process. They may not have all been rehashing the existing story, altho I believe that dominated. (And got really old after the first few hours.)
