TV screen clutter in India TRAI v/s IBF -- what the viewer thinks?

TV channel's self-promotional advertisements occupying disproportionate screen space in case of part screen advertisements!

 

Some examples of frequent part screen advertisements in distracting advertisement formats which were captured on a random Sunday

There are no exceptions all channels occupy a considerable portion of screen space and cause distraction to the viewer who has paid for the content. 

Excerpts on in programme advertising from TRAI’s CONSULTATION PAPER ON ADVERTISEMENTS ON TV CHANNELS

 "It is quite obvious that cluttering of the TV screens may not be a desirable trend as far as the consumers viewing experience is concerned.  

All advertisements should be clearly distinguishable from the programme and should not in any manner interfere with the programme viz., use of lower part of screen to carry captions, static or moving alongside the programme.  

In case of part screen advertisements, the advertisement shares the screen space with the regular programme content. In this case, the size of the programme screen is reduced and either a bar at the sides or bottom or a combination thereof is used to feed the advertisements. Part screen advertisements could also be in the form of miniaturised video clips, generally displayed without audio, overlapping the regular programme. The different forms of part screen advertisements are Picture-in-Picture(PIP), popups, scrolls, tickers etc. The examples of this form of advertisements are the ones, in the bottom portion of the screen in news channels, in the left and bottom portion of the screen in a live cricket telecast when the bowler is preparing to bowl, pop ups or falling images during movies, self-promotional video clips of upcoming programmes etc."

 

Broadcasters on their part question Trai’s mandate to regulate content and advertising norms, they are not bothered by viewer experience.  

Excerpts from IBF’s RESPONSE TO THE TRAI’s CONSULTATIONPAPER ON ADVERTISEMENTS ON TV CHANNELS

"The broadcaster must deliver viewers to advertisers and does so by judicious choice of the level (and perhaps the type) of advertising it proposes along with an attractive enough vehicle to attract the prospective buyers of the advertisers products to watch.

For TRAI to view advertisements as an inherent nuisance that impedes viewing reflects a basic lack of understanding of the business model of the broadcasting industry"

Dharam Kanta - Gay or Stupid

SabTV subjected us to the 1982 classic on Sunday Dharam Kanta . The star cast included Jeetendra and Rajesh Khanna.

Jumping jack Jeetu Bhai was seen making out with Kakaji in the movie it was hilarious and shocking at the same time.

Here are some of the visuals from the scene

It all starts with the two getting playful in water

And then Jeetendra decides to take initiative

 

By now Rajesh Khanna can take no more and he also gets
ready for some action

Followed by some intimate moments

The two continue their love making

The visual says it all

Kakji is ready for climax

Men will be men

Cuddling and sharing a moment

I salute your skills

Gender equality in Cadbury India's commercials

Krafts foods the owner of Cadbury brands like Oreo and Bournvita have versions of their TVCs featuring both boys and girls.

The ADs with punch lines 'Twist, Lick and Dunk'and 'Tayyari jeet ki' are a welcome change in a gender biased world of marketing.

The latest in the series is a girl practicing basketball



The boy in gymnastics commercial for Bournvita

Compare this to my previous post where women were projected as an object of desire and which sparked off tweets and a newspaper report
