Holy shit! Commercials DURING EVENTS? And I don't just mean in breaks - they are literally running commercials during play of events!!!
Right now I'm watching Brazil-USA in women's volleyball . This has been a great match going back and forth (USA just won set 1). But during a key moment in the first set (Brazil made a big block to go up 16-15 and take their first lead of the match) Peacock cuts away to run ads! WHAT. THE. FUCK? They missed 3 points and came back right after 18-16 Brazil.
They just missed the first point of the 2nd set for ads!
I first noticed this yesterday with Men's volleyball and water polo.
I just don't get it.
A lot of people have given NBC/Peacock credit for FINALLY showing so much stuff live - yes, kind of true. But they've failed to do this for well over a decade, when they've had access to the world feeds for a long ass time and never shown them. I had to use a VPN to pull the BBC feed as far back as London, but it could have been longer and I just wasn't aware. So ONLY NOW is NBC finally doing what they can to show us everything.
FUCK!!! They cut to commercial AGAIN right as a serve was about to go!!! COME ON NBC!!!
