If movie channels are commercial free, does the logo in the lower corner NOT advertising?

Question

HBO, Starz, Encore, etc...All say "commerical free" yet they have a logo (also known as a bug) in the bottom portion of the screen. To me this seems like advertising, which means that their programming is not commercial free. Also, while the credits are running, they usually post ads for upcoming movies, which is also advertising...Do you agree or disagree?

Answer 1

I think they mean commercial free during the movie. and the logo in the corner of the screen, I wouldn't think of it as advertising as much as reminding you what channel you're watching.
