I understand your take on what’s really happening, but it still looks bad from a conservative point of view.
If this many advertisers only required the slightest whiff of any old excuse to bail, why did they sign up in the first place?
I would have thought these ads were locked in; or purchased on a contractual basis, i.e. “We have paid to run ads on this show for the next six to eight months.” I guess there is no penalty for stopping anytime for any reason.
Or maybe they're going to keep paying for the ad time for the next few months without actually running any ads.
Although ... since her show is so new, I can't imagine anyone would make any commitments for more than 30-60 days at a time.
