No commercials after 7k on Direct TV as well. In fact, Liggett said that it would be the last commercial break. These commercials have nothing to do with the Versus feed, as they are inserted right over the race and often right in the middle of Liggett's commentary. The fact is that Comcast is not doing any of there advertisers and favors becuase the ads only serve to enrage the viewer rather than make the viewer more likely to buy the prodcut. As a result contact the advertiser and mention that their commercials are making you less likely to buy the product.

Dish network's last commercial was at 7k to go. HD also. Directv could very well have been the same. There are commercial spots for carriers(cable and sat companies), that are not control by the network(versus).

While that's a legitimate beef, I believe the beef would be with Versus, not Comcast. I'm sure DirecTV's broadcast of VS programming, including commercials, is exactly the same as Comcast's, or any other carrier. They just broadcast the stuff; programming and timing of commercials are the responsibility of the network that's carrying the event.

I freaking can't believe that Comcast stuffed in another ad right at the finish of the live presentation of the TdF today. That is just incredibly unbelievable! Completely missed the finish.
I've already earlier called Comcast about those irritating ads and they pleaded ignorance. I'm ready to move to another carrier.
