NBC Heads For Okinawa

NBC has pulled back from their original position regarding airing ads by Freedom’s Watch. They informed the group that they will accept the spots.
NBC reversed course Saturday and decided to air a conservative group’s television ad thanking U.S. troops.
The ad, by the group Freedom’s Watch, asks viewers to remember the troops during the holiday season. NBC had refused to air the ad because it guides viewers to the Freedom’s Watch Web site, which NBC said was too political.
But in a statement issued Saturday evening, NBC said:
“We have reviewed and changed our ad standards guidelines and made the decision that our policy will apply to content only and not to a referenced Web site. Based on these amended standards the Freedom’s Watch ad will begin to run as early as Sunday.”
My guess? They felt the heat. Good.
