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.

CBC’s coverage of the closing ceremony has been awful. WAY too many commercials.

[Didi 🇨🇦 @Bytowngal]

No thanks to CBC Gem for ruining the Olympics closing ceremonies with poorly placed commercials.

[Janet Lantz @JanetLantz4]

Damn CBC, trying to watch closing ceremonies of Olympics and damn commercials!

[Liz Eccleston @LizEccleston]

Wtf long ass cbc ads interrupting the closing ceremonies

[Stephen Crooks @stephencrooks]

There are two things in life that should be commercial and commentary free: the Olympic Opening and Closing Ceremonies @CBC @Olympics

[Peorhum @Peorhum]

@CBCOlympics CBC Olympic closing ceremony is little over the top with commercials. Really taking away from enjoying it.

[Chris Edwards @CEdwardsTSN]

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

[Ruth M 🫐 @LucyLovesQuasar]

@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?

[Just GIGERS @Gigers39]

Ya know what would be cool @CBC if we could watch the closing ceremonies and not commercials. #Olympics2026

[Romeo Graham @romeograham]

@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!

[Lilyaceous @Liliayceous]

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.

[ambam @ItsReallyAmber]

The way @CBC keeps cutting to commercial during the closing ceremonies is starting to annoy me

[starfishlb @Starfishlb]

Hey @cbc @CBCOlympics could u stop showing ads i the middle idf the closing ceremonies couldn’t you hold off ? Its pretty crappy

[Taylor Bailey @MrTaylorBailey]

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.

[marjanlion.bsky.social @Marjan_Lion]

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. :)

[Andie @Andiecip]

@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.

[ISCARIOT @iscariotking]

is @CBC fucking serious ? commercials
during the closing ceremony????

[Don Bradshaw @RealDonBradshaw]

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
