I'm not sure, they usually rather hamfistedly remove any sponsors'
logos on EBU broadcasts (notably The Eurovision Song Contest)

Rather like Blue Peter in 70s and all that mention of 'sticky-tape', it
often serves to draw attention to brand names, rather than the opposite
desired effect !

wasn't it "sticky backed plastic"?

No, I think the first was Sellotape, the second Fablon. Though of course they'd now
need to appease the gods by hurriedly adding 'Other brands of sticky tape and sticky
back plastic are also available'.

Then there are the names of some of the sporting venues. For example
some football grounds a Emirates Stadium, Ricoh Arena, Macron Stadium
(formerly the Reebok Stadium), DW Stadium, John Smith's Stadium,
Madejski Stadium, etc; all of which are named after their current
sponsors. When the BBC or anyone else refers to them they will normally
use those names.

How often do the BBC actually *need* to refer to the name of the
stadium? "We now join XXX for live commentary[1] on AvB" - no need to
mention the name of the venue, it is (unless the later stages of a cup
tournament) team A's home ground. The important thing is which teams are
playing, not the name of the stadium in which they are playing.

Yes, when they used Fablon, but 'sticky tape' when they used Sellotape ?



And "rubber solution glue" for Copydex.

Yes, when they used Fablon,

Or Clarifol. That was the product favoured by the YPO and so it was what
we all used.

I remember the good old days of show-jumping on the BBC and horses named 'Sanyo
Video Centre' and the like. Bit difficult to avoid then.

It was 'Sanyo Music Centre' and 'Sanyo Video' with the Smiths (Harvey, and
probably son Robert) aboard.

It all strikes me as a bit odd. The morning programme (live) was 1h30 long
and the "highlights" on BBC4 at 7pm were 2h00 long. Weird.

The BBC commentator was in Vienna.

"Petroc (I'm Cornish you know) Trelawny" as he was known (when I was on
attachment to Radio Devon, rather a long time ago now) - a local radio
reporter who couldn't (at the time) drive.

The Morning (live) programme started at 10.15 and according to BBC Radio
iPlayer lasted 2 hrs 45 minutes. 1.30 might have been the first "half".

So there I was at 7pm on BBC 4 on new years day, and the concert started
from Austria. I was shocked to hear, many times that it was sponsored by
Rolex. This is the BBC man! You cannot advertise on there!



think that the rule is if the event is happening independently of the
bbc and they just happen to be airing it then it's ok.
that's how you can have adverts on pitch and on hoardings on a BBC
televised football match.

They still use "sticky-tack" rather than referring to Blu-Tack
