Charter to Modify Satellite TV Rain Fade Commercial Claim

Charter Communications will drop the word "again" from any future airings of an ad that features the Grim Reaper bemoaning his family's satellite dish "went out in the rain, again," the National Advertising Review Board said Thursday. NARB reaffirmed a National Advertising Division decision sought by AT&T's DirecTV early this year that Charter had appealed (see 1801310022). A NARB panel also recommended the operator end claims that paint satellite TV as unreliable and its Spectrum TV service as reliable.
