ITV struggles with F1 sponsor search
ITV will struggle to land a sponsor for the 2008 Formula One season at the increased £4m price it is believed to be demanding, according to TV buyers.
Honda sponsored ITV1's 2007 coverage in a deal thought to be worth
£2.5m, but advertisers have so far failed to commit to a higher
deal for the 2008 season.
Tim Brady, managing partner at Newcast, ZenithOptimedia's branded

content division, said: "It's a high price. The problem is that it's a
very repetitive audience."
An ITV spokesman said: "We are currently in discussion with a number of
parties and are confident we will secure a sponsor soon."
