Not oops. It’s sales driven. That’s what you get when you have a sales General Manager. Veto only cares about saving the ad buy...

I don’t thinks so Stink. Most likely an oversight.
If you think Veto has any sort of “game plan” for 12, you are mistaken.

Stink.
Nobody sponsors something that’s not happening.
It’s a mistake.
I would bet they don’t even know the promo is running.

It’s not a mistake. I’m told that’s how it was sold. And since it was sold, and Veto doesn’t want to lose money, it’s running.. even though there’s no sports being played due to COVID19. Check your sources before making ASSumptions.

Your information is only as good as your source.
Even as ill equipped to run a station as Veto is, he wouldn’t let a spot like that air if he knew about it. The sponsor would be all over their ass for running it at this time. That’s a fact.

I love it how Beer defends bad management at all costs...

Whether the spot is running because of a sponsorship commitment or just laziness on the part of management, either way it makes the station look foolish. And that falls squarely on the GM (aka Veto) to protect its reputation and make sure sports promos during a pandemic are taken off the log during the hiatus.

Not defending anyone. The reason for the post in the first place was to point out how stupid it is to run sports promos now. You said it was sales driven..
Calling Veto ill equipped to run a station is not defending him.
I really hope you are better with facts when you’re doing a story, but I doubt it.

You clearly live to hear your own voice. Are you sure you’re not management?

Stay in your own lane: I bash management, Beer makes excuses for them... then when I’m right, instead of Beer admitting he was wrong, he just attacks others. Classic love tale...

No love here Stink.
And, I’m not wrong.
But maybe you should go check your sources on that.

I did. And my sources are in 12’s sales department. You’re the one who claims not to work in the biz... so there’s that.
