Re: Roseanne premiers to massive ratings
To be fair, if a company chooses to advertise on a show like that they know they're playing with fire.
Some companies are randomly placed on whatever show, is my understanding. When they realize they are sponsoring an offensive program, they can ask the network to use their ad on a different program. Other advertisers request a specific show to advertise on.
I could be completely wrong but that's my best guess. It might also be that the more popular a particular show is, the more the network can charge to advertise during it. But we are in agreement, any company that specifically requested their ads be placed on this show was playing with fire.
As often happens, she will likely come up with a "poor me, I'm a victim stance" and turn the firing into a money maker.
