[edit]

tv series have been sold in the greatest number of countries

[edit]

what tv series have been sold in the greatest number of countries woldwide?--87.27.156.88 (talk) 10:49, 5 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Do you mean series like Star Trek which has been broadcast in many countries or Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? which has been remade in many countries? Perhaps both? --TrogWoolley (talk) 13:11, 5 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Our article says that Top Gear has been sold in 214 territories, which the reference claims is a Guinness world record. BbBrock (talk) 13:14, 5 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
like Star Trek.--158.148.236.171 (talk) 17:46, 5 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Onscreen promotion

[edit]

This seems like a topic that is worthy of a Wikipedia article, if it doesn't have one already. Here is some basic information about using part of the screen to promote another show. In a few cases, animated shows on Fox have incorporated them into the episode itself, so that even when the episode is rerun, the ad for the other show still appears. I don't know how one would find the examples, but those might be part of the article. — Vchimpanzee • talk • contributions • 20:52, 5 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Unfortunately I get a security warning when trying to access the site (probably because of GDPR), but do you mean a type of Credit Pushback or Commercial Popup? They'd probably come under the Promo (media) article. Nanonic (talk) 21:10, 5 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
There's nothing about the concept in the article, but I suppose I could make that my next project.— Vchimpanzee • talk • contributions • 21:28, 5 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
It could be a variation on Product placement. ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots00:56, 6 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I could link from there but there needs to be a main article.— Vchimpanzee • talk • contributions • 15:24, 6 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I'd appreciate someone looking at what I did. Also, I added to Snipe (disambiguation).— Vchimpanzee • talk • contributions • 16:08, 7 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Perhaps information could also be transcluded to/from digital on-screen graphic, aka bug or DOG.    → Michael J    20:26, 10 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
