There will be four 15-second ads in the seven-hour edition of RedZone in Week 1, a source tells FOS. That could change later in the season.

There will not be full ad breaks, where the football action disappears from the screen.

“It’s an incredibly small ad load,” an NFL spokesperson told Front Office Sports.

While ads are playing, viewers will hear the audio of the ads, but the other box will show NFL RedZone.

“This move has been contemplated and tested for over a year now, and is completely unrelated to the recent news regarding ESPN and the NFL,” the league told FOS.

The NFL isn't taking a massive PR hit to run 4 15 second ads.

Sure it'll start that way but it will obviously get worse and worse

IIRC the income tax originally started at 2%

We all know where this is going.

What’s the need for this statement? I was told just yesterday “no one” was upset about these ads

It's gonna be worse. They only have one minute of material. That one minute of material is gonna get played like 14-20 times during the 7 hour window. So you will have each line of the ads memorized by the afternoon slate of games.

Should be easy to do away with it entirely then, right? It's incredibly small and nobody would notice
