Ads on Stingray Music

[97005]

I started hearing ads while listening to Stingray music a few weeks ago. We are subscribed to TELUS Optic TV and Stingray is included in the package. We pay big bucks to stay with TELUS TV, rather than switch to other providers with more affordable streaming options, and better choices of shows. Why then do we have to listen to ads on a paid Stingray subscription?

This Reddit thread seems to imply this is something Stingray is doing:

why am I getting Telus ads on stingray? : r/telus

The Telus ads on Stingray were annoying initially when they occurred about every half hour.  This week (2nd week Feb) they seem to be about every 15 minutes.  It interrupts the pleasure of listening to the music, and  I hope they are a temporary feature.

Agreed. They're even more frequent now. Things like this, the very poor customer service from Telus, the over billing errors, the gutting of decent Canadian jobs by Telus (in favor of mostly using contractors who get no benefits or stability from Telus), the excessively high CEO and other Executive pay in Telus, are why Telus has lost so much trust from the public.

I am using Telus tv and stingray less because of those factors and particularly because of the ads on stingray now.
