You mean to tell me I would call Dunkin' Donuts or Eastern Bank and tell them I missed part of a Red Sox game because NESN was running their ads instead of the game, and someone from one of those companies would do something about it? <br /><br />No. Complain to NESN. It is their priorities and production that are interfering with the game.laura khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05524593142290489958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730822.post-14817444119188799842012-04-26T07:54:59.745-07:002012-04-26T07:54:59.745-07:00kwic: I disagree.

And as I noted, in one instance, the missed pitch came from NESN showing highlights. NESN missed a groundout the night before because it was showing a video clip of a hallway near the clubhouse.<br /><br />This has nothing to do with advertisers. It is NESN's view that showing commercials (often for itself) is more important than the game.allanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04673233312198832937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730822.post-27121306899967462262012-04-26T07:07:24.138-07:002012-04-26T07:07:24.138-07:00"If you'd like to complain about this - c..."If you'd like to complain about this - call NESN at 617-536-9233 and tell them to please do the absolute minimum: show the programming they have agreed to broadcast."<br /><br /><br />No. NESN doesn't care about you because you are not their client.<br /><br />Call the <b>advertiser</b> whose spot ran and tell them (as politely and specifically as possible) that you will NOT be buying their product/service because they interfered with the game broadcast. <br /><br />Advertisers just <b>hate spending money to drive customers away</b>.
