Is it caution that’s limiting the green list or is it a case of government manoeuvring to keep disposable income in the UK. I know what I think, they have to shore up the disastrous effect of Brexit. This false economy will last maybe a year and a half - but false it is!

Thanks, Rusty,
It does seem a reasonable assumption, I'm something of a greenhorn on these things but value most people's views. Theoretically, if it did happen is that a good thing on the whole? ...and are Perion the only likely candidate or are there others?

Back when we were 6-ish all the talk was about a possible marry-up.
Now that we are 8-ish is there a greater possibility or not, does it strengthen the notion, that some held?

With limited knowledge all one has to say right now is 'WOW' looking good!!

You mean Cadbury has him in their ads too!
That little scumbag gets everywhere, eh!

Is that the new Nescafé ad - featuring Piers Morgan?

‘People now prefer watching streaming platforms to broadcast TV, according to a study by the Magnite advertising platform’

They would say that, wouldn't they, marking their own homework.

However, it’s no surprise, we knew that was the way things were going anyway. More importantly, how will advertising change? Totally with no return or half and half? If anybody caught Carolyn McCall, CEO at ITV, on BBC Radio4’s Desert Island discs a few months back, she gives her vision on evolving advertising. McCall makes some interesting observations, worth a listen if you can track it down. Also interesting is this link posted by Janus1on the ITV forum.

Yes, Janus1
One is also dismissive, but not ruling it out. Personally one hopes that US influence plays no part. If getting our country back means bowing to uncle sam, that's a disaster for impartial tv, despite our so called safegaurds.

Very interesting, Janus1

The operative words within are 'political assault' ...

Also: The Bashir element currently lending weaponry to the Beeb bashers to boot!!

(the Bashir incident is minuscule compared to the Murdoch interference and underhand reporting committed by the Tory press)

Boris is deliberately being non specific on many things covid related, especialy foreign travel, for as long as he can hold out. Its a tactical manoevoure to keep the economy afloat and cover up the Brexit disaster. Keep people guessing on travel and the most likely outcome is most people will holiday in the UK, using their disposible income in the UK. Smoke and mirrors economy!!

It’s been really quiet on here lately, perhaps everyone is getting ready to go to the pub. I see the streaming arms race is gearing up a bit:

This is good news and good managment, the sp has the potential to increase quickly. Let's take it steady and we'll soon be back to near normality!!

Correction - ‘ predator in the shadows’.

Janus1,
You haven’t upset or offended me, you are spot on. There is no evidence of a predictor in the shadows, just wishful thinking. Personally one thinks the J P Morgan forecast to be very plausible in the short term!

Seems I spoke too soon, who’s manipulating this?

Moving slowly up, only the uncertainty of the covid situation hold this back - and that’s pretty mush the same for most shares atm.

arms999 ‘Some Mps are trying to block foreign travel’

Yes, and most of them were pro-Brexit MPs doing what their leader has told them to do - that should tell you all you need to know.
Covid as bad as it is, becomes so much more when being manipulated to keep disposable incomes in the UK. The economy will boom especially as furlough hasn’t yet ended, imo a flash in the pan. A most welcome scapegoat to have trotted up the Tory lawn!

‘They can only make money from ads shown on sports coverage’ Only!!!

One fails to see how that could be seen as insignificant. In the long game one must consider how tech is changing advertising too - digital product placement is just around the corner and sport will be it’s forte!

It’s not good obviously, but **** happens, what can one do?
It’s over ...we move on.
