I talked to a manager who said only stock reels for the jumbotron. Because they don't want Gieco/Taco Bell/Cialis commercials playing on it.
If they purchased an NFL Sunday ticket, commercials aren't shown. It'd be super cheap and easy for them to do.
It's ok for the ads to air on their airwaves, but they don't want those ads airing in the park? Interesting.
You don't need DirectTV to get Sunday Ticket. You can buy it separately now. I have Brighthouse but still have Sunday Ticket. It blocks out all commercials.
NBC isn't the issue, it's Comcast.
Also, nothing against this place as it's a great place to relax, but such a large corporation being in charge is why I much more enjoy more intimate, hometown bars that don't care one way or the other. This is a great vacation bar though.
Comcast has NFL Redzone. Which gets NFL games without commercials? But what about the world series? NHL games. ABCs lock on the NBA. ESPNs lock on NCAA Football. March Madness?
On Saturdays, does Comcast want to be advertising on 3 Jumbotrons a Disney/ESPN product that can be seen from space?
And what about the non pay service events. You would still end up with billboard sized Viagra ads in your family resort settings.

I'm not saying that all of that other stuff doesn't matter and they certainly need to show it if they want to keep sports fans interest. I was just using NFL as an example.
Then not wanting advertising on the jumbotron is a really good point. I would imagine marketing can charge a pretty penny for ads in CityWalk and don't see any reason they would want to give it away. Plus I'm sure if the wrong ad aired someone would make a stink about it.
I wasn't objecting to your statement, I was objecting to the Sunday ticket and no commercial comment. Because the bars I go to have nfl ticket and there is commercials. Sounds like there is something separate now. I would look into that, but my friend has a slingbox and has been letting me watch the steelers games that way.
WDW ad would just be embarrassing for them. I was thinking something more along the lines of a questionable ad like the Carl's Jr, something for the news talking about how someone killed someone, or worst of all a political ad.
Trump on the Jumbotron. Now that would really be gross and ugly.
Why the ugly face? Trump is really smart cause he's a billionaire and that's all the reason I need! Plus he went to that there Wharthogs School of Business Stuff so he knows, yah know, business stuff. So watch what you say young pup. When he becomes Precedent of America I have a place all picked out on my wall for his picture.
