One of the most unexpected talking points at the start of the Six Nations has been the decision by broadcaster ITV to introduce a “split-screen” advertising format during the tournament’s opening match between France and Ireland. For the first time in UK rugby history, the broadcaster began airing 20-second commercials – specifically for brands like Samsung and Virgin Atlantic – during natural pauses in play, predominantly seeming to target the build up to a scrum. While the live action remained visible on the left side of the screen, the game audio was often muted or sidelined to accommodate the commercial,…
