Commercial Observation (anyone Else Notice)

[catnap1972]

I've noticed lately that commercials for "Christian Mingle" always seem to get replaced by another commercial ontop of it (Dish inserted?) Is this deliberate or just some coincidence?

I so seldom watch commercials, I couldn't say....

 

[Scherrman]

Never noticed. Could just be that they happen to have the same time slot.

Yes, its replaced by Jewish Mingle, my 15th chance.

I think Farmer's Only is behind it.

Commercials? What's that?

There is nothing sinister here. Christian Mingle buys commercial time on national cable networks during their local avail spots. These are times that are reserved for local cable systems to insert commercials they sold for their local market. If the local system doesn't sell that spot, you get to see Christian Mingle commercials. If they have, the commercial is preempted with the local commercial. In dish network's case, they sold that time to Farmers Only with one of the WORST commercials ever created!

Tony, you don't have to feel lonely at FarmersOnly.com.............

So I don't know if this really is how it works, but I would guess there are pre-programmed timecodes when those kind of inserted ads are supposed to be put. Sometimes that time code might be off by a few seconds or maybe consistently they are... idk. I don't think it's on purpose.

Local inserted on D is either FarmersOnly or ChristianMingle, or lawsuit hotline commercials
Also chapter 12 bankruptcy by Peter Francis Geraci which is local here.
