Not if they have to run the same ad over and over -- during the Athens Olympics on NBC's HD channel, a single Sony ad (in HD, at least) ran during each commercial break. The ONLY ad to run during the HD broadcasts. Over and over and over and over... even Sony apologized for this. I'm sure it didn't help their sales too much.
When advertisers switch to HD, let's hope they give us some variety rather than saving money by showing only one ad... ad nauseum.
