Advertisers Continue To Pull Ads From New Duggar Show

More bad news for TLC as even more advertisers continue to pull ads from the network's new Duggar family reality show. 

Since In Touch reported last week that advertisers were unhappy to learn their spots ran during "Jill & Jessa: Counting On,"  eight more companies told the magazine their ads were not intended to run during the show and they will not allow them to air in the future.

Wrigley, Ring.com, Combe Inc., Credit Karma, Gazelle.com, RCN Corporation, X Out, and Chattem Inc. join Cici’s Pizza, The UPS Store, Pure Michigan, Whitewave Foods, Choice Hotels, Mattress Firm and Verizon as companies who have pulled support for the show. That's a total of 15.

The new show, which focuses on sisters Jill and Jessa, was meant to recoup both the viewers and the revenue TLC lost after "19 Kids" was cancelled, but so far, it seems to be more trouble than its worth. 

Reps for TLC have yet to respond to request for comment made by The Huffington Post.
