Don't patronise viewers
Article Abstract:
The advertising and product placement for sophisticated viewers is discussed where the Independent Television Commission (ITC) decided that product placement was not allowed within a programme as it would confuse the viewers between the programme and a commercial. The Ofcom is encouraging greater dialogue with broadcasters and consumers alike and is making an effort to eliminate burdensome and unnecessary rules by making regulation meaningful.
