NASCAR To Abandon Racing Portion Of Business, Concentrate On Ads
It's one month old, but is still worth the read:
"Top NASCAR officials announced Monday that from now on, rather than racing to determine a winner, advertising-bedecked cars would slowly circle the track in a noncompetitive marketing parade set to begin with next year's Daytona 500." I wouldn't be that surprised... |

Thanks...I could be legally blind; that's why I bold and increase font size for links I post.
As the the "paragraph"; silliness. |

Would I be right in saying there's no limit on advertising minuteage in the US? Just that in the UK (and practically every country in Europe), there is a limit, and US programmes generally need filling with trailers and things to get them up to full length. When NFL games are shown in the UK (apart from the fact they get few advertisers if any because it's not the most popular programme and it's late at night, that may also be to do with the way the UK rules work), they cut back to the studio presenters when the US broadcaster go for a commercial break.
EDIT : Sorry, didn't realize this thread was over a week old. |
