what will their do with the adverts? as US has to many for UK law


Just be grateful the Superbowl is showing on a commercial station! Ever watched the US Masters Golf on the BBC? Four hours of continuous live coverage, I think not!


You really have no brain do you? You ever tried watching F1 with adverts? Worst thing in the world.

F1 without adverts is no better though! Laughing


Some sports though lend themselves quite naturally to the ad structure - and I think sometimes after 45 minutes of continuous action alot of viewers like a short break before they get into the analysis.


And I'm sure you'll have noticed now increasingly BBC Sport coverage is interupted by trailers to provide a break in coverage.

Just before I toddle off for the night, just had a look at you-know-where of the CBS broadcast, including a strap onscreen (below) during a momentary break which then went to a shot of the actors in the crowd.

Two ads during the last break - one for GoDaddy.com and a Coca-Cola one which initially looked like an ad for a Grand Theft Auto type game before the main character started helping people and giving them bottles of Coke etc.! Also a promo saying how great CBS are - #1 sitcom, news magazine, new shows etc..

Interesting... I've just noticed that ITV seem to be running off a delayed feed as I'm listening to the Five Live coverage through my Accoustic Energy Wi Fi radio and it seems to be ahead of ITV!
