i thought Xmas Day supposed to be ad free? but its ok for TV to play Self-Promotions??? i just dont get the double stds set by the law. Self-Promotion IS advertising, contrary to what the Govt. makes you believe.
it would be better off no playing any form of advertising (TV Promos included) At all or Allow TV ads to play on Xmas day - either way the double standards will be removed.

i know. i wasnt complaining about the ads. i was complaining about the double standards that you cant play general advertising on TV of Xmas day (nor good friday, easter sunday or anzac morning) but promotional advertising is acceptable. yes i know theyve done it for ages but maybe the broadcasting act?? should be changed to either ban television Promos or allow General advertising on these days, it will remove the double stds. that previous govts have set.

sometimes programmes come to the station already cut into segments, with gaps for commercial breaks included. if there were no promos to play in the gaps you'd have to sit at the tv and watch either a black screen, test pattern or something until the gap lapsed its time.
