ITV West also has the Yeo Valley sponsorships - absolutely awful!, which replaces Fly Be.

Westcountry sill has Fly Be though.

How does ITV Thames Valley weather sponsorship work?

I understand that the north/south halves of the region still count as legally part of the "Central"/"Meridian" franchises, respectively?

When TVT first launced, I understand that the whole region got the existing Central Weather sponsor (BMI Baby), presumably as Meridian's sponsor was a ferry company, which would seem odd in the land-locked Thames Valley. I presume that it's still BMI Baby, as it still is in Central land?

So how does "selling the advertising space" (or whatever) for ITV Thames Valley Weather work, as it's in two different franchise/advertising areas?

Hmm... I notice the sponsorship has changed to a general "ITV National Weather is sponsored by eSure car insurance". And just as those annoying Sheila's Wheels stings were growing on me!

Have ITV ditched Sheila's Wheels on the national weather? E-sure are now sponsoring the national weather.

Sheila's Wheels is run by the eSure group (the disappearance of the SW stings is mentioned just a few posts above!)

I know the last 4 aren't humanoid characters but thought it would be different. Very Happy
