TVN -- very little cash for very useless comment

I can only surmise that no regular contributors to the forum are at-home subscribers to TVN.

I cannot be the only one driven to distraction by too many TVN ads that are either misplaced or plain offensive.

The offensive ads are possibly fewer since the dynamic syndicator was run to ground but, repeated ad nauseum, the images of someone poking a bikini girl and the 'box' of a batsman are really starting to take a toll on anyone with a semblance of sensitive sensibility. Tell me that these ads do not work, they can't.

The misplaced ads feature a female voice that is alternatively 'shrill' and unstoppedly 'pedantic' in demanding attention  -- the only time that most men encounter such 'noise' is late on an inexplicable Friday night when they are regretting that they ever came home rather than checking into a psychiatric ward at a local hospital. Tell me that these ads do not work, they can't either.

How could TVN, and its owners, possibly need the money, if any, that is paid to run this absolute nonesnse -- how come that the time wasted offending subscribers in this way could not be spent building turnover on the races on the day.

Running these ads in prime racing time is an unbelievably stupid turn-off.

There is an ad during the cricket that is worse than even the Watt ads. I reckon those watching the cricket will only need one guess to know which one it is.  bash

Dynamic ads are the worst. Too much gimmick and annoying. Made me laugh when the wank dynamic said that there was a new voice and new approach with his ads. He forgot to mention that you where still getting the same old  censored from the same old censored  censored

And the sports bet ad, although is amusing the first few times, is now getting to the annoying part. Although I am not offended at all by a bikini clad babe.
But the station still needs to make their cash and advertising is thier ticket.
