Tried to watch the closing ceremonies on CBC but really just one commercial after another. Couldn't even spare five minutes to watch the Canadian athletes come in without Ketchup, Bell and Air Canada. Fuck it. I'm off to water my plants.
Is CBC even paying attention to the closing ceremonies? Any consulting of a timing sheet? Or the alphabet?
They ran ads at the exact moments when a) Canadian Flag Bearers and b) Team Canada walked in.
Horrid timing ruined both moments for the viewer - and the athletes
@MarkJCarney@TeamCanada I agree with this but could we do something about the atrocious number and placement of ads by the @cbc
during opening and closing ceremonies?
@CBC@cbcgem
Olympic games 2026 closing ceremony is getting wrecked by endless commercial breaks on the CBC feeds in Canada!
Show some respect for the moment!
Always missing huge chunks of the Olympic opening & closing ceremonies while @nbc & @peacock & @CBC take constant commercial breaks. Host countries put together beautiful ceremonies & we miss out bc of disrespectful corporate greed. WE WANT TO WATCH THE WHOLE CEREMONY, ASSHOLES.
We'll, it's the end of the games. Beautiful closing ceremonies but @CBC clearly didn't get the memo regarding ads overtop of the celebration. Run a banner or something, but muting the sound in favour of ad revenue is insulting to athletes and viewers.
Hey, @CBCOlympics, if you don't want us to enjoy the closing ceremonies, just show something else instead for the next two hours that you can ruin with your ads every 2 minutes. :)
@CBCOlympics Worst coverage of closing ceremonies. Reducing the screen to show commercials & blast audio of commercials while Canadian athletes were on camera was ridiculous. Same happened at summer Olympics. Next time I’ll turn on another countries broadcast to watch the parade of athletes.
Hey @cbcsports. I know this is your last chance to cash in on that sweet #Olympic ad revenue, but running commercials every 5 minutes during the closing ceremonies is a bit of an overkill. May we just watch the show, please?!? 🙄 #Canada#Olympics2026#CBC
