Comcast Spotlight, the local sales arm of the cable giant, will no longer take ads for guns. And no, the policy change has nothing to do with the ongoing gun violence debate in Washington. In a statement, Comcast said it decided this month it would adopt the advertising guidelines used by NBCUniversal, which will not accept ads for weapons or fireworks. Other networks, including Fox and ESPN, have similar policies against taking ads for firearms.
