Comcast/NBC

[Shadow01]

So, they have decided to not air commercials from gun/ammunition companies. Will this affect people using Comcast for services and or watching NBC programing?

I've seen ads for Henry repeating arms company quite a few times, on Comcast, over the past year.

They've also run ads for Applied Ballistics Systems Inc. in Lafayette.

As far as Comcast is concerned on the outdoor channel they air commercials for midwayUSA, ruger, s&w, doublestar, etc.

Those are probably national commercials they have no control over because it comes on the channel feed verses local commercials.

so i assume they'll be also blocking all programs that feature guns aye? say like, anything on HBO, FX, History, Discovery, and uh, about every other channel?

i've lived so happily without TV for 4 years now. comcast, in all its entirety, are a bunch of (choose your expletive here.) worst company in the world, ive never had a poorer experience with a company before.

Is there an option to pay extra NOT to see Don's Guns commercials?

 

[U.S. Patriot]

Just one more reason I got rid of Cable TV.

Hmmm...Didn't NBC buy Versus last year? I watch Gun Talk and some other shows on their new "NBCSPORT" channel that replaced it...on Comcast.

There is also the Sportsman Channel and the Outdoor Channel, which I watch both of those as well. Haven't heard a thing.

You don't watch 3-Gun Nation on there anymore(They dropped it a couple of days after the shooting).
