When Peacock streams its first exclusive NFL games, it will be leaving some money on the table—with a bigger picture in mind.

The NBCUniversal-owned streaming service will be commercial-free during the fourth quarter of both coming National Football League games—a regular season matchup Saturday between the Buffalo Bills and Los Angeles Chargers and a playoff battle Jan. 13 that Peacock paid around $110 million to carry.

The move seems counterintuitive, given that NFL games are a premium destination for advertisers and a cash machine for media companies. Peacock is expecting a lot of new viewers, however, and wants to give them a first-class experience that will persuade them to become paying subscribers.

“The bosses get it,” said Mark Marshall, chairman of NBCUniversal’s global advertising and partnerships unit, when asked how the brass at NBCUniversal and parent Comcast reacted to the idea of a game with about 40% fewer ads.

None think about having to clean up all their blood and brain matter left over. Suicide is so selfish.

I start by saying I am a member of our green party

So a Republican, seriously, the Green Party was created and is funded by the GOP to take votes away from Democrats. It isn't actually a functional political party.

He did exactly what they threw McCarthy out for and Democrats got everything they wanted, Republicans got nothing of what they wanted.

Anyone can make a lemmy server, but that's an example of a cesspool.

They don't last long. Behind the scenes lemmy servers are active at booting trolls.

Pete would probably be a top ten President of all time. Extremely smart, likeable, and handles himself well. He already is the best Transportation secretary in my lifetime, though the competition wasn't very strong.

So you want Trump to win, someone who backs the terrorists? Not a good plan

I usually don't ban anyone unless they give us no choice. While I don't agree with everyone's perspective, I respect it. Everyone is invited to their opinion as long as it doesn't violate the TOS or community rules.

TB, I think that ban has passed BTW. Should be the standard 3 day deal.
