– Heineken Halts All TV Advertising in UK –Heineken has pulled its television ad budget after 30 years of broadcast advertising campaigns. It will redirect its marketing dollars towards point-of-sale promotions and event sponsorship.

Rob Marijnen, managing director of Heineken UK, said that a number of factors had prompted it to put its money elsewhere... “The enormously cluttered environment in TV ads makes it difficult to make standout ads... It’s also very expensive and it’s questionable as to its effectiveness.”

Watching Live Earth on television, as opposed to online via MSN, is an effect not unlike being a passenger in your grandmother's car:

"Go faster, turn here, oh hell, forget it, I'll drive…Each concert feed streamed via MSN without buffering or hiccups, meaning that each was as mouse-clickably close as the next...The pageantry that sprung from his devotion was, as seen through MSN's Live Earth webcast, nearly perfect in its execution.

With a reported 8 million people viewing 15 million streams for the event breaking the record set two

years ago by Live 8, Live Earth is broadband's biggest event to date!
