Comcast Bans Guns and Ammo Ads

By al, March 22, 2013

The (Lafayette, Ind.) Journal and Courier reports:

Gun stores in areas that Comcast Cable serves are looking for new ways to advertise after the cable provider said it would not accept firearm and ammunition commercials.

Comcast, the nation’s largest cable-TV company, made the decision last month after it finalized its purchase of media company NBCUniversal, which Adweek magazine said has had a long-standing in place banning those items and fireworks.
