This is getting ridiculous. I cannot recall a single Premiere ad that has reached the level of repetition as this awful Cologuard ad! How can any advertiser seriously think that running the same ad five or six times per hour (which means 20-24 times over the course of a 4-hur show) is helpful to their product? I swear, I will NEVER use this product. As soon as that fake 'tennis ball' sound starts, I can't hit the 'mute' fast enough!

I don't think you can even use this product on your own. I think it's only available via your doctor (or a doctor) as alternative to a colonoscopy.

Yes, I think that's correct. I think I'll stick with the colonoscopy!

Could it be that this is the first time in months that we haven't heard the Cologuard ads? I'm tuning into the 7/4/1987 show off and on (on WTOJ) and I have yet to hear one.

The last couple weeks they have been waiting until about an hour and 15 minutes before running the first one. After that, it's been twice an hour. Last week a Metamucil (!) ad was on and I thought to myself "no more Cologuard ads?". Of course the very next ad was for Cologuard. This week I'm listening to recordings from 2013 and 2015, so no Cologuard.

But that was the era of "Total Transformation" ads.

I didn't hear any of those. The 1977 show recording (from 2013) was from a Canadian station (the now defunct CKUL out of Halifax), and they ran only local ads. The only ad from the 1987 show (from 2015) that was borderline annoying was a Terminix ad for mosquito control. Of course there was at least one Progressive/Flo ad.

Well, it looks like we have a new Cologuard ad. I'm listening to last night's 1972 show from WSQL and I heard it 3 times in a little over an hour, with a Pepto Bismol ad thrown in for good measure.
Edit: Shortly after I wrote this, the old version was played. So that makes 4 times in the first hour and 20 minutes.

The ads don't bother me. Mainly because I record the shows and edit out the commercials before I listen to it.

I've been hearing the Cologuard ads on local radio. Now I'm seeing them on TV, too. Just can't get away from the d@mn things!

I'm the perfect target age for Cologuard and if it's an alternative to what my wife and friends have gone through with the drink, etc. I'd consider it.
That said yes, it's the most obnoxious Permiere advertiser ever. Tennis guy's annoying voice narrowly beats out mountain climbing lady to take the title.
