Thursday, December 27th, 2007

Adrian J Cotterill, Editor-in-Chief

We are amazed at how much publicity ScreenFX can get – if only companies that were doing so much better in the digital out of home industry got as much press interest, our industry sector would surely be in much better shape? Kevin Feddy from the Manchester Evening News reports on tomorrow’s EGM for the […]

Adrian J Cotterill, Editor-in-Chief

Interesting only because we saw Sidev on their stand at Viscom a few months back and never noticed any association with YCD at the time (we were obviously not paying attention) but we hear that YCD have just announced that Sidev is their newest distribution partner (based in France in case you didn’t know).

Adrian J Cotterill, Editor-in-Chief

The dozen or so pictures of the screens that we took at Dublin Airport on our most recent travels could not do the network we saw justice so you will just (at the moment) have to accept the one above. The network is owned and has been managed by i-Channel for the last 12 months […]

Adrian J Cotterill, Editor-in-Chief

Securing the digital network is something that all media owners need to be au fait with. To my knowledge we haven’t had a really high profile / embarrassing digital out of home incident yet (though we can expect many in the future as people let their guards down). This story popped up on EARTHtimes about […]

Adrian J Cotterill, Editor-in-Chief

Remember that today, Monday 24th December is the deadline for (wannabee) suppliers to submit their Notice of Intent if they are interested in bidding for the Tesco Screens Creative RFP. Unsurprisingly we had a lot of interest when we published it on Friday 14th December and fielded, and we are not exaggerating, half a dozen […]

Adrian J Cotterill, Editor-in-Chief

We reported at the end of November that SCREENS.tv would be up and running in Jan 2008 – in time for Screen Expo 2008 one would suspect. Well, we don’t believe it has launched yet but there is a site up here which you can take a look at to see what it (might) look […]
