As Adam mentioned on TV Squad, NBC has
begun streaming the first hour of The Today Show online in an
ad-supported format. The show will stream online and have non-skippable ads embedded in the streams. It's all part of
the overall strategy to give advertisers more options in terms of places to buy ad space. It's also part of the
network's strategy to keep those advertising dollars in their own pockets as television commercials continue to erode
in relevance. Each hour of streaming video online will contain four 15-second spots, meaning there's just one minute
per hour of ad time as opposed to the, what 15 minutes or more of commercial time on TV.Today Show online sells ad time

3. I am very disappointed in they way Al Roker poked fun at Epileptic seizures. My room mate is effected by Epileptic seizures, and he has to change his entire lifestyle and diet to cope with this debilitating disease. My room mate is very self confident, and professionally successful. But I can still see how he gets his feelings hurt by comments such as the one made by Al Roker. My room mate has "fallen to the floor and shook around." The seizure broke his nose and caused a concussion. Has anyone at the Today Show ever walked in on a person having a seizure in a puddle of their own blood? I have, and it changed my life. Comments like Al Roker's trigger a truly scary memory for me. People who suffer from this disease did not bring this on by themselves, and I am disgusted that Al Roker chooses a debilitating disease to poke fun of. I am not satisfied by Al Roker's apology and I am going to forward this email to your advertisers, as well as boycott their products and services until Mr. Roker is at least suspended for his comments. What kind of a message is NBC sending?
