Well this thread has generated a lot of noise as is usual when the subject
comes up.
I just hope that at least some of you will take the time to write to
Advertising Standards to complain about the continuous branding which is
done on so many TV channels. These branding DOGS which are displayed for
hour after hour are in fact Advertisements and as such exceed by far the
amount of advertising allowed on any channel.
Emails to broadcasters are just palmed off with stock non-answers and most
imply that the use of DOGS will increase. By all means please Write to them
but I believe that letters to Advertising Standards will give them the
chance to exercise their powers over broadcast content.

I personally doubt they would DOG the primary 5 channels. It makes sense
to distinguish these from what is so obviously the trash that is
anything digital.

On the other hand, given the sort of grade of people that float to the
top of TV companies, particularly the BBC, no form of down-market and
stupid decisions can be discounted by these philistines.

Well time will tell, but I think they will think it an improvement.
Also I think Signing for the deaf will increase too.

Amid the current buzz/wank words of "Interactive TV", "User Generated
Content", "Audience Participation", and "BBC shareholders", isn't amazing
how little say the audience actually has! ;-)

http://www.asa.org.uk/asa/ hat is the web site.

The snail mail address is in tiny print at the bottom of the opening page.
This would probably have more effect than using the web methods but why not
try both.
