Reply to comment by Agent_Angelo_Pappas in NBC’s Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade Scores Its Most Viewers in 5 Years With Streams on Peacock (27.7M Viewers) by MarvelsGrantMan136
It’s way different now. Every float is two commercials, the hosts read the first commercial for the float sponsor, and they read the second commercial for the performance sponsor. If you watch a telecast from 30 years ago on YouTube it’s was much less commercial. It feels super corporate now.

I just pulled up a broadcast from the early 1990s and parade starts with a barbershop quartet singing a car commercial. It’s always been a commercial onslaught, I think you just have rose colored glasses
