Annoying continuous ROKU loop commercial

Jump to solution

I was watching my normal M-F show at 10-10:30 p.m. and another 10:30-11:00 p.m.  and this ROKU commercial comes on from 10:20-10:30 then again from 10:44-11:19.  It was a nonstop loop showing the same things over and over like ROKU recommends show where the 2 hosts of the show have to hang their tongues out of their mouths while they take a picture of themselves, Weird Al commercials, Rich Eisen and Martha Stewart galore!!!  It was really ridiculous and most annoying I had to mute it let alone it ruined my 2 programs I was trying to watch.  This ridiculousness needs to be stopped.

The same is happening to me as I am watching Live TV not through an App! It interrupts War Room with Stephen K. Bannon. They are censoring more

 My family and I are soo tired of that weird al commercial for his movie, we can almost recite it now from memory.

It loops and plays every commercial break and more than once during each break no less.

Tired of it, really really tired of it.

Put a couple more diy ads in there such as for the makers channel or some commercials about the weather.

Just tone it down with some of these commercials and add more variety at least, but keep it age appropriate, we have seen some stuff relating to women's personal care about a certain area I won't mention here...

I feel the same way about the commercials. It is so annoying and I end up looking for other channels that don't play continous weird al commercials.thank you .

Nothing will be done about it though I'm sure

Why do you keep trying to make this a user or technical issue?  Do you even watch your own channel?  "Weird Al is taking the world by storm!"  "That's how we roll on the Rich Eisen Show!"  Every commercial break, many times per hour, sometimes not even during program breaks, but right during the broadcasts.  You sound like a White House reporter who says that Diaper Dementia Joe is perfectly fine.
