This latest 'blog' by Chris Davies, Sales and Marketing Director, BBC Global News Ltd, discusses

"Product placement on BBC World News".

"On occasions, we have found that not allowing product placement has unnecessarily stopped us from being able to make the programmes we want to. For example, if we were considering a series about an event which had numerous sponsors, without product placement consent, the logo of the company sponsoring the programme would probably not be allowed to appear within it, even though those of the other event sponsors would be."
