Check below for both linear and VOD deadlines and make sure to take note of these dates for your campaigns airing over and around the Bank Holiday on Monday 26th August.

Linear airdate

Instructions, copy approval and delivery by EOP

VOD Deadlines: Copy, rotations & tags required for activation for the 26th and 27th August must be delivered by the end of the day on Thursday 15th August.

Normal delivery

• Linear copy Instructions should be supplied at least two clear working days before transmission.
• Linear copy should be delivered at least two clear working days before transmission to avoid a late delivery surcharge.

Remember…

• To comply with these deadlines please make sure additional time is factored in for clearance approval.
• Approval should be before or by the delivery date, please be aware that two clear working days are required for video approval and we always advise you to leave at least two weeks for full clearance.
• Copy received dates are to avoid late copy surcharges being applied by some broadcasters.
• UK broadcasters are represented by: ITV, Sky Media and Channel 4.
• Agencies with clients that find these deadlines unworkable should contact individual broadcaster sales representatives directly to agree on their needs.
• On the working day before a bank holiday weekend our clearance service shuts down when the broadcasters have received all the cleared copy – we’ll always post on X and LinkedIn about early closing. Our delivery service remains open for business on these days.
• If using our delivery and subtitling services you can deliver your clocks to stations while copy is awaiting approval.

If you have any questions, get in touch with us.
