TF-UK advertised on TV

[Nigel]

There was a brief advert for the Titan comic after today's episode of Animated.

It was actually immediately after the cartoon, before the Nick Toons ident. (This is where one might expect to see a sponsor's ad, though given the coverage in the latest issue, I suspect it might be some sort of reciprocal deal rather than a straight sponsorship on Titan's part.)

Nice. I wonder how they pulled this off, TV ads generally being slightly expensive for comics?

Well, the comic did run an extensive promotion and adverts on the show in its last issue. As Nigel suggests, it might be a simple matter of returning the favour. Also, Hasbro UK might, just might, have figured out the idea of linked promotions and are putting it into practice. By the way, did I mention there's still a special offer on TFs at Toys'r'us? Not sure if it'll still be on once Animated arrives, however.

It was on again today.

It's not an expensive ad in terms of production - a picture of the comic with caption and voiceover saying "the official comic on sale now."
