But ITV or Sky doesn't do coverage of the Trooping of the Colour sponsored by several corporate advertisers with product placement and network stars performing as part of it, correct? If they could, I can just see ITV presenting coverage hosted by Ant and Dec, with the panel and contestants from "The Voice" singing during the ceremonies and Bradley Walsh doing lame comedy bits with the Chasers.
(Of course, even though the rules regarding product placement have loosened in the UK in recent years, no one can still do what American television gets away with--I can now see Tina Fey turning to the camera after forced dialogue singing the praises of Verizon Wireless on "30 Rock" and saying, "Can we have our money now?").
