Why doesn't Disney Channel have outside commercials?

• They only have commercials for shows and other things within the channel. I'd have to imagine they are losing a ton of money in advertising. Most people are already used to having ...show more

• Answer:

  Essentially its because they don't have to. And because they don't have advertisers and thus don't have to appease any out side source when it comes to what they air they have complete control over the schedule and content of the channel. Any channel that has outside advertisers is somewhat at their mercy. If an advertiser that has a large contract decideds they don't like a show they can threaten to pull out which in tail could hurt the channel financially. Disney bypasses this problem. They are one of the few that can simply because they own everything involved in making their channel. All the cartoons, movies, and TV shows that appear on Disney are owned by Disney. The commercials are for their products and other media services such as DVDs and websites. So in the long run they probably make more money since they don't have to worry about outside interference.
