I've seen the future of TV logos and it isn't good

current affairs programmes can't be sponsored
So that "A Current Affair is sponsored by Nissan" stuff is illegal?
And if it is, how come Nine can get away with it.

Luckily the advertising in this country is regulated, so at the moment
this
isn't possible - at least on the mainstream channels.

But then programme sponsorship never used to be allowed until the commercial
operators put pressure on the regulators to change that.

Can someone explain the difference between Leerdammer paying for advertisements
& paying for sponsorship of 'Midsomer Murders'?

Here in
the USA, the main channels have loads of commercials, and commercials
in the programmes themselves!

I was amazed at how much advertising there was on US tv. Cable was sold in
Australia partly on the idea that it had less/no ads. Well, go to the US and
then think twice about shelling out for cable/pay tv!

Has there been an increase in the amount of advertising on US TV? I'm
sure 1 hour shows used to last for 45 minutes without ads, now they
only last for 42 minutes.

I watched some old 'Smother Brothers' & 'Johnny Carson' shows my pal recorded in
the 60s & there was far less advertising, just 4 breaks per hour & no more than
currently on ITV.

This is a cross-posted thread, and I think you've just replied to a
discussion of the situation in the UK. Our UK correspondents have
presumably never had the pleasure of making Uncle Ray's acquaintance.

It would be in the UK.

Logos Such as Sky One, UK Gold etc.

You just mean the ordinary watermark style channel logo that's on
constantly? Do you have the animated logos over there yet?

Yes, and not yet.

Poor, deprived Pommies :-) I found a small picture of Seven's new logo
I was complaining about - imagine this guy in the corner of the screen,
jumping up and down, waving his arms at you:

Yes, and not yet. Stands for Digital Onscreen Graphic.

Digitally Originated Graphics is the correct term.

You'd better correct the wiki then.

Oh. I've added a note to that page. Somebody else can sort out how it
fits in.

Did it stop TUTV placing banner advertising on Ch5? The advertising may
not have been broadcast as part of the program content but it was seen
on screen by many people watching CH5.

It didn't stop them, but C5 did get spanked for doing so, so it's
unlikely they'll do it again.
