thanks for the feedback, all points have been passed on

Thank you!

It also occurred to me that ad interruptions must be putting some callers off their stroke! Daryl reckons she can finish them off in 3 mins, that's because they want to finish before the next ad puts them off!

If they're going to have ads at all, why not put them on during hand overs i.e:

Girl says "Goodbye!" Get pics of girl screen. BS Xtreme ad. Next girl.

There, they get the ad in, we don't miss anything, job's a good 'un!

the promos run on a timed schedule, the producers (should) be aware of the times the promos go out, and therefore plan their hand overs / mic talks around these, the process is being looked at and everyone informed who needs to be, so *hopefully* this will stop happening

We live in hope!

They're doing exactly the reverse. They're timing handovers and mic talks to coincide with the promos.

Not working either!

Not sure how many chances to give this......

Last night was much better! Or was I enjoying the girls so much I didn't care about the ads!? Possibly both!

good news i hope!

We'll see what tonight brings!

All this discussion about the timing of the promos is distracting attention from the fact that they are completely unecessary and do nothing other than antagonise viewers. Every one of the numerous nightly chats on the subject given by Geri or one of the other girls, whether on screen or as a voice-over, delivers ten times as much information as all the promos put together and in a far less annoying manner.

Btw, have you ever actually watched the Freeview channels to see the effect of the promos for yourselves? Their whole nature is totally obnoxious. They arrive like thunderbolts without any warning and explode out of the speakers at twice the volume of the rest of the show and onto the screen with bright, fast-changing, flashing images. It's like having a bomb go off in your face every ten minutes. They deliver a combined assault on ears and eyeballs while achieving absolutely nothing except alienating the very people they are presumably intended to woo.

Get rid of 'em.

(Then we can start talking about those ENORMOUS banners on BSXtra that say "There's a hot girl on the line" or "Less than ten minutes of Freeview left" repeated umpteen times, as if we're all incapable of reading it the first time, while blocking out the whole of the bottom half of the picture and leaving us with a view of just the girls' head and shoulders for ten minutes or more at a time.)
