Good idea, although E4 is more of a specialist channel aimed I guess at teens to 20's and possibly early 30's. I guess it would be possible to talor an advert to the mid teens to mid 20's, and then maybe look at an advert for say the older viewers who may watch More4 (this is a guess, but I'd say probably mid 40's upwards?). > But of course, anther suggested getting commercial backing to fund it, but > is that really viable.I think the only thing that's getting in the way here, > is the funding of the advert ere we to get it on the air. Could Canonical possibly part fund the advert? Are there any other reasonable size IT companies who make money from Ubuntu out there? Maybe it could be worth contacting some of the hardware vendors, might be a long shot but how about Dell since they already sell machines with Ubuntu pre-installed? > I think an option we should consider is putting it on the internet; i.e; > Youtube.
