elricko Posted February 6, 2005 Share Posted February 6, 2005 I have not seen any postings re. Sportsnet's decision to discontinue the ads during their EPL matches. I , for one, am very pleased and hope that they never try anything so stupid again. I even wrote to commend them on their "change of heart", but received no reply. I do wonder if they are cooking up some other "nasty' scheme? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Metro Posted February 7, 2005 Share Posted February 7, 2005 They still interrupt La Liga matches with commercials. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elricko Posted February 7, 2005 Author Share Posted February 7, 2005 Now that Rogers has won the Canadian Olympic TV rights, I wonder how many 30 second ads they will insert during the men's 100 metres race? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Free kick Posted February 7, 2005 Share Posted February 7, 2005 quote:Originally posted by Metro They still interrupt La Liga matches with commercials. Those matches are already tape delayed and the viewers are ( or should be) already aware of that. Therefore, I don't have a problem with commercials in these instances.

Daniel Posted February 7, 2005 Share Posted February 7, 2005 Are the 4pm games really tape-delayed? I remember El Clasico being live at that hour. The games intially ran at 7pm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Therefore, I don't have a problem with commercials in these instances. I know they are, and I don't see the difference. Whether live or taped, Sportsnet does take care to not cut out any of the action. After the commercials are shown, the viewer is brought back to the second when the match was interrupted. But the match is interrupted, nevertheless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the match is interrupted, nevertheless. Actually there is no difference because all the Euro soccer games on Sportsnet are tape-delayed. EPL, La Liga... whatever. They always have been (even before interrupting games for commercials began). On Saturdays, the EPL games actually begin at 10:00 and 12:15 ET, not 10:05 and 12:35 ET.
