Have you seen the latest 'Monkey' advert, talking about Interactive WWTBAM? On ITV2, which is on ITV Digital.

It is shown outside the breakbumpers, and is therefore not an 'Advert'. I wonder how they are getting away with that?

views? comments? Smile

Whilst on the same subject, YTV occasionally show CITV adverts, I wonder if they are all supplied to the regions to use when they want

The 'ad' is brilliant!

In regard to WWTBAM ads, I thought about that.

I reckon its because the advert can be justified as flogging a service on ITV 2 rather than ITV Digital, even though the monkey device is used. Therefore, ITV simply regard the advert as a promo for ITV 2 and broadcast it outside of regular adverts.

Although it is rather dodgy if you ask me...

It most definately is, this maybe isn't the time for a blatant plug but the link is at the bottom of my post.  It is the best yet, and I don't care when it's shown because it's great. But why should it be any different to the ads that are shown for the ITV Sport Channel ? It's just advertising another ITV service.

Incidentally all new subscribers get their very own monkey if they subscribe to all primary and one premium channel for 12 months.  Existing subscribers can get hold of a monkey by subscribing to TV7 magazine for 12 months for £30.00.  I ordered mine today.  I will soon be the proud owner of this little guy.

Monkey is only available to new and existing ITV Digital subscribers, when I enquired if he would be on general sale ITV Digital told me 'Unfortunately Monkey is not available for sale to the general public, as we felt it only right that he go to a home with ITV Digital.'

For those outside Yorkshire. Metro newspaper is a free newspaper that circulates freely on trains and buses throughout the county.

I believe the 'Metro' is available allover the country, except there are different 'versions' but the basic paper is the same.

You can tell this if you look at the letters page, and they are all from londoners!
