They are awarding future ad revenues, or injuring future cash flow. You presume this advertisers are stupid. They aren't trading premium ad for empty space.
What? Have you lost your mind? Can you imagine happiness when they couldn't beat 4 years ago with more favorable time slots, more costs by 40% and terrible demographic showings?
