Saturday Night Live's effort to give Kamala Harris some free publicity backfired spectacularly when NBC was forced to provide Donald Trump equal airtime. And the former president used that time to his full advantage.
* * *
NBC, backed into a corner over the blatant FCC violation, was forced to throw the GOP nominee a bone. That bone came in the form of two ad spots during Sunday's NASCAR coverage, together with another aired during Sunday Night Football.
Those are two very pricey timeslots for ads to run, with the Daily Mail estimating each to have a price tag in the ballpark of $1.7 million.

In other words, to make up for SNL blunder with Harris, at a time when not many people watch, NBC donated $3.4 million worth of prime slots to the Trump campaign. Looks to me like they wouldn't have done it unless they feared a Trump election and the consequences of not making the donation.

I didn’t think it possible to make SNL even more unfunny..

“...they feared a Trump election and the consequences of not making the donation.”
Excellent observation.
Fight, fight, fight!

NBC donated $3.4 million worth o I question your use of the word "donated".
I don't think it was voluntary.

Did the Trump campaign show the same as both places?

I didn’t think it possible to make SNL even more unfunny..Of course it can. Just let it run for another half hour or put it on twice a week.

I knew about the NASCAR plug, but this is the first I heard about SNF. NASCAR - Trump was preaching to the choir; SNF - Lots of independents and undecideds.
To: libstripper
The time was a good slot but the programming? Preaching to the choir. Trump should have picked an audience that wasn’t already in his pocket.
