Upload your 30-second advertisement to CBC Television?

Later this week, I’ll be presenting a keynote address to the B.C. Association of Broadcasters called The Future of Broadcasting in a YouTube World. One of the things I ran across in the research was how easy it’s become to put an ad on radio and/or television.

Putting an ad on any Canadian television station is still a somewhat labourious process involving traffic coordinators, account managers, ad agency reps, and so on

In the U.S., though, it can be as simple and point-and-click.

If you’re in television sales, you really owe it to yourself and watch this short video from Google on how their new ad-buying system works.

    Hey Tod, any chance us plebs could get an invite to the talk? Or, alternately, if I could take you for lunch or coffee and hear about it first hand?


    Hi — sorry James, it’s not my call. And I’m pretty sure you have to be a member of the BCAB to attend. Besides, it was earlier this afternoon and over now. :(

    Laborious, but labour.


    Really? Cool! Thanks. I love the little things like that.
