totally off the wall question, but on my main MSNBC stream, it is wall to wall adverts for Spectrum

[Celerity]

Mobile for MONTHS. The stream uses a Buffalo, NY based source. They also bomb the channel with adverts for an ambulance chaser slip and fall attorney (William Mattar, and those adverts are quite amusing at times).

I have never seen such saturation for any brand for anything like these Spectrum Mobile spots, anywhere, in the EU or the USA. It is just jaw-dropping, in terms of number of adverts and the period that this has been going on.

It seems like there are 10 to 20 per day, for months, and they also usually go after a competitor (T-Mobile) relentlessly with negative attacks.

Is this just a Buffalo thing, or thus this national?

Spectrum's parent company, Charter Communications, has been on a large overall climb since January 2019 or so (othern than a blip in the early COVID 2020 spring trough)

1. I watched a couple of William Mattar commercials after reading this.

"Hurt in a car?" "Call William Mattar!"

2. It must be a local or regional thing; I've never seen either of them here.
