Whoa. CBC podcasts have advertisement bumpers. Our public broadcaster is selling cars with our podcasts. What do you think of that?
And not a peep on Inside the CBC. Nothing on Teamakers. Nothing on CBC.ca (of course).
For instance, on Between the Covers [mp3].
Wondering what to think of it.
Listened to the mp3 you linked, and I didn’t hear any ads. Just the 0:05 ID, followed by the show, followed by a promo at the end.
So then I listened to the latest As It Happens podcast, and heard the Cadillac spot. The language in the script is very interesting — “Support for delivery of this podcast…”
Er… just noticed the MP3 example switcheroo.
hey, man… ;-) …yup spark is not yet tainted.
i kinda think it’s the exact same bumper-style as npr uses.
Hmm I’ll let you know to tell the truth I’m a bit behind in my listening, but I haven’t heard ads yet.
