Every single Norweigan football fan who watched the game legally, missed their countryman score his goal against Real Madrid due to their only way of watching it legally displayed many ads before half time. Mind you, to watch that match, you have to pay its most expensive subscription. Such a joke

  • Disgusting. Every cable service is too expensive to have like 30 ads per minute

    That's what streaming services were for, but now it's following the cycle as well. Rinse and repeat, gotta love capitalism.

  • And WERE the bad guys in the story

    Fr 😭 Was watching the norweigan stream and suddenly ads popped up. Thought the service I used was bugging so I switched channel fast where I didn’t miss the goal. Ofcourse it was the actual legal service that played the ads

    Of course they were the bad guys in the story. We're consumers who were shafted.

  • Why is there a commercial break mid game?

  • Commercial breaks mid game? On a paid plan?

    TV2 panhandling lmao

  • Yeah, I know the feeling. ITV did that for England's first group game of the 2010 World Cup just before we scored.

    parent

    I remember when ITV used to show F1 and missed the final lap and chequered flag during the Imola GP because of an ad break, and this was with the first 2 cars a second apart.

    Oh god, I still remember that.

    They did have a banging intro tune back then too. Moby - Lift Me Up

  • TV and CTV ads are crazy complicated I've found. You basically have an approximate content length which is used to determine how many adbreaks can be inserted and how long the max duration of the adbreak is. That then gets pushed to the demand side from publishers and they have to determine like a puzzle what relevant ad creatives can be fit into that space in the most optimized way in terms of revenue and the existing campaigns with their partners that they have. That is programmatic adserve.

    But regardless how good the adtech is, the publishers always find a way to fuck it up. From the beginning of that game's airing, that adspot was always planned to be there at that exact moment. There is nobody curating that game and the system doesn't care or understand what is happening in the game.

  • Happens A LOT in (American sports car racing that I can’t mention for sone reason) too. The networks go to commercial, and there’s a massive prang which puts it under caution. The networks then come back, play 30s of what caused the caution, and go to commercial again. Must be really annoying if you’re paying for the live coverage.

  • Is it like the danish tv2?

    parent

    No but they share a lot history. Danish TV2 is state owned while Norwegian TV2 is owned by a danish company. Both exist because they needed a competitor to their first nationwide broadcaster. The danish one came first

    Like they would do it in one game and not the others.
