Ads come to NFL RedZone channel for the first time on Sunday; will they be back?
The days of ‘seven hours of commercial-free football’ could be over.
Is nothing sacred? It seems that the creep of advertisements back into the lives of regular TV and streaming watchers is unavoidable. First, viewers had to watch as streaming services raised the price of ad-free plans while launching ad-supported tiers. Now, commercials have come to one of the last ad-free bastions left on TV: NFL RedZone. The channel has long promised “seven hours of commercial-free football,” but that changed on Sunday, as viewers noticed the channel showing ads for the first time.
Key Details: Football fans took to social media to express their disappointment with the addition of commercials to RedZone. The NFL says the week was just an experiment, and commercials will not return for the rest of the year. Fans should almost certainly expect ads to return in 2025.
