Well, that doesn't appear to be true. Folks on the west side of town (I live
on the east side) did not see this ad. Also, the ads overlap and block the
broadcast - no official ad break. I'll bet Versus allows Comcast to run adds
for a fee. In fact, the ad that blocked the finish in yesterdays stage was
an add for Comcast itself.
