TV Adspend Faces Modest Q3 Growth

Television adspend in the UK should experience modest growth in the third quarter, according to a forecast from ZenithOptimedia.

A report in MediaWeek says that the TV market has been boosted by substantial growth in categories such as internet search, gambling and leisure, alcohol, food and retail, against a weaker performance in traditional areas such as telecoms, music and cars.
