My issue is that for Super Bowl- the ads are part of the show. Case in point- CTV will spend more time on their Monday morning news showing us the best ads, than they will spend showing us football highlights.
It also begs a few questions- what benefit do I get from CTV picking up the local broadcast rights? I get the US networks as part of basic cable. There is the argument that the money they make allows them to create Canadian content; however we all know that the reason they show 7 hours of new per day is to fill their Cancon requirement and be able to show us more American programming. (Which once again is available via cable TV, and has been since the 70s.)
