“Has DIRECT-TV complained to the FCC about similar ads that have been run by local NBC and ABC affiliates?”
That’s interesting.
Currently the local ABC affiliate is running the ad and a scroll across the top of the screen. A couple of months ago it was the NBC affiliate doing the same. I haven’t noticed if the Fox one is doing it, but I’ll give it a glance later.
I don’t have dish, direct or cable, so it matters not to me :^)
