The many commercials on Super Bowl from NBC? Didn't they sell out at $7 million for 30 seconds? Too expensive I think.

The SuperBowl "warmup" show lasted 6 hours! This is like Black Friday for them.
They can lose money for the rest of the year and still come out even.

Nobody watching it as it was just noise in the background.
But it would still help their stats.

probably decided that taking that money to advertise their competitors couldn't go unbalanced by failing to sacrifice some ad time to push their shows/peacock.

Here is my all time favorite Superbowl ad. They did it like a movie promo ad with short few second soundbites name dropping the movie, and then they dropped the actual ad.
It wouldn't work now with the price so high being so long, but it was funny then.
