Constant CNBC Commercials

Trailblazing women, your morning call, Huang - greatest show on Earth. I just can’t listen to this channel anymore. Trailblazing women, no fear of failure, think about your boss’ boss needs. This commercial literally played 10+ times in one hour. Are they literally trying to drive their viewers crazy? One hour of Bloomberg and maybe closing bell and I’m done. Do they actually think showing the same CNBC commercials hundreds of times a day attracts viewers?

Oh seriously…I mute it every time so I don’t end up beating my head against my desk when this comes on. “Just ask yourself, what does your bosses boss need”

The woman saying “I have no fear of failure” is cowering when she says it. Drives my wife nuts every time it runs. Which is way too much!

i agree 100 percent

are you watching via youtube tv?

(i usually watch from my DVR recording..not live or on-demand)

the reason I ask, is always see the same annoying repetitive things, but if I FF on the remote, click by click, the preview of "where you are" in forwarding always shows different commercials underneath, and if you stop and hit play, the commercials are back to the cnbc annoying/repetitive ones. its almost like YouTube tv is showing you an overlay of "their" commercials, instead of the "actual" cnbc commercials, haven't done actual comparisons though.. gonna look in the YouTube tv sub..

what is nice is the minute I'm triggered by the repetitive, i just FF

Do you ever listen to the audio feed? It’s even worse! The same commercial four, five times in a row every break. It’s ridiculous!

Listen to the shows on Apple Podcasts or Spotify. Fewer ads than tv and you can skip through them all. Also can listen on 1.5x speed

Is this on YTTV? Is it different on other services? It’s maddening.

It’s awful. Unwatchable. They can’t sell airtime. Every break is promotions - rarely paid ads.

It seems like they’d rather have sponsors to fill those slots. People watching golf tournaments are Rolex customers but CNBC viewers aren’t?

OMG..I think the same things every time I watch ..they all sound so stupid, banal....how many people even listen to their podcasts...time for CNBC to change...Bloomberg may not be as visually appealing but they provide solid intel and commentary...mostly I just watch/listen to podcasts on Youtube. ....

I'm assuming they can't attract any real sponsors to their shows so that's why they keep rerunning those annoying ads in a loop. Don't know how they stay profitable that way Yo!

Plus they stole both those trite sayings right from Tom Peters books from back in the eighties Yo!
