We see that Thomson¹s PRN and GSN have teamed up to co-produce content for a new game show, CATCH 21, which will run on PRN’s Checkout TV Network Screens in Supermarkets. The idea is an interesting one – basically shoppers can play CATCH 21 (hosted by Alfonso Ribeiro) whilst in the supermarket queue. Called ‘Catch […]

This was interesting – an advertisement for Harrah’s in Atlantic City on New York’s Sixth avenue. Pedestrians walking along Sixth Avenue see a storefront with a live-action shot of patrons at a blackjack table, as the pedestrian approaches, the dealer gestures for the consumer to come over, and then proceeds to deal a hand of […]

Alex Hughes

In addition to the extended passenger dwell times associated with air travel, the sheer expanse of larger airports provides network owners with a great opportunity to capitalise on point-to-point passenger travel time.

Wednesday, July 23rd, 2008

Adrian J Cotterill, Editor-in-Chief

We mentioned a few weeks ago that the Carrefour Athens deployment in Greece has now grown to 14 stores and 300 screens (from 9 stores and 180 screens in 2007).
