@adamthecco: ITV haven't shown a single ad during World Cup hydration breaks. Everyone's praised them for it. Turns out it's got nothing to do with protecting the football. Stuart Smith told us himself what they actually wanted to do, and there's an Ofcom rule that explains why they couldn't. #WorldCup2026 #sportsontiktok #footballtiktok #fifaworldcup

For as much as people complaint about Ofcom, their rules about advertising are what make terrestrial TV in the UK more watchable than anywhere else in the world

I used to work in the ITV scheduling department back in 2015. They could only schedule so many minutes of adverts per hour due to Ofcom rules, which is why most of their ad breaks straddle the hour mark to maximise viewership, you would never see one of their major programmes start exactly on the hour mark, it would always be 20:01 for example.

In theory they could have sold them for more potentially. People would be less likely to turn off/do something else like they do at half time

Sponsors definitely paid for it, isn’t it called the Powerade hydration break in America. You can see all the advertising boards switch to the Powerade logo

The break itself is useless Cause most modern stadium should have ac so if the break exist why not profit from it!!!!
