Quiz Question

[Marshwarble]

Why might you hear Mike Carson advertising a product when you're out and about, but not necessarily when you're watching ITV?

[Buenchico]

Presumably because Mike Carson works as a continuity announcer (and/or voiceover artist for trailers, etc) for ITV (and many other channels), with the 'conflict of interest' rules preventing his voice from also being used on adverts on ITV (even though he does corporate advertising work elsewhere).

Can you be a bit more succinct, Buenichico?

PMSL @ Marshwarble.

[Buenchico]

My 'lack of succinctness' worried me when I posted!

I'll try again:
Mike Carson's voice is used by advertisers, but not on ITV because people who work as ITV announcers can't also be heard in ads on the channel.

How many quizzes you been to, Buenchico? All I'm asking is who Mike Carson? Answer: He's the voice of JML.

[Marshwarble]

Who is Mike Carson? -I meant to say.

Well that's told you Chris!
