Advertisers that went for 3rd rate media buys on NBC are:
Burger King, Taco Bell, Vonage, Stride Gum, Planters Peanuts, Geico, Amex, Volvo cars, Sprint/Nextel, The Scooter Store, Dawn Dishwashing liquid, Netflix, Sonic, BestBuy, WWF fake wrestling.
Since these companies listed chose media buys on the losing network, one might surmise that these companies' products did not rate high enough to be on the top quality networks ABC, or CBS, but instead landed on the losing channel.

Despite denials to the press that NBC was going to be put up for sale, ex NBC CEO Robert Wright revealed that indeed there were talks many times regarding proposals to just sell off the NBC network from GE.

If NBC is sold off, Sci Fi channel & scifi.com will probably get Dumped from GE along with it.
