Feeding the mouth that bites it…

Ads for CNN’s Larry King Live have been airing during MSNBC Live with Dan Abrams in the New York market. These sorts of things are usually screw ups at the local cable level and I don’t for one second believe that CNN had anything to do with this ad buy placement. Still it’s rather humorous to see CNN appearing to advertise on Abrams considering how he has been taking on the network very publicly the past couple of weeks.

  2. It happens on CNN and fnc. You’ll see a fnc commmercial on cnn. strange yea…but the cable company sells the ads in packages that includes the news channels. heck it’s probably a part of the carriage deals.

  5. It’s always interesting when the local cable distro’s do stuff like this, a local one around my area had an ancient American Morning one about diversity, and still showed the O’Brien’s as hosts, not to mention on Fox News.
