Support OTV, help them find a solution

Why is it ok for Saatchi & Saatchi to advertise on NBN and sponsor programs on that channel while boycotting OTV?!
Is the owner a ja3ja3ist?!

BTW, what the origin of Saatchi and Saatchi?! If its an international company, then we can complain to the headquarters.
There is a very fancy office for Saatchi & Saatchi in Tel Aviv, and to be more accurate in Ramat Gan, Diamond Bursa quarter.

X it is not that easy. Usually big accounts are handled worldwide by the advertising groups, and thus if let's say the Johnie Walker in Lebanon (what is lebanon after all?) has a problem with its ad agency because such an issue as one local TV station (which is a minimal problem) it will not break its alliance with the agency.
Johnie Walker and the rest, whether they love FPM or hate its guts, whether they love OTV or hate it, once they see ratings of OTV high and profitable for them, they will advertise on it, regardless, these are businessmen they are not kids playing at politics.

Saatchi is Saatchi is run by Elie Khoury, the guy who is the propaganda man of feb14. He is behind I love Life campaign. In the same building as Saatchi there is what they call their NGO (non governmental organization) which in fact is the think tank propaganda wise of Feb 14.

For example, if there is a cheese brand called "Red Cheese" and they are boycotting OTV for political reasons, people should know about it so they boycott the product in return. Once the owners of "Red Cheese" realize that their product is being boycotted because they boycotted OTV for political reasons, they will come and advertise on OTV.

What we need is the names of those products who are boycotting OTV.

It would be HILARIOUS to see for example the sales of Pepsi if the opposition leaders ask their supporters to boycott it (our leaders will not do it of course but just imagine:))
Just try to picture who are the best consumers of Pepsi (especially the big bottles) and you will understand :)

I think ..
1- NTV and OTV should join forces in this monopoly . and release a stat figures indicating unbiased with billboards all over.
2- Investing in OTV will help the company increase capital and increase the production capabilities which in turn bring great programs ( such as male7 ya ba7r , gebran , sheikha men amerca,maguy fara7 and others )
3- Great programs will bring more advertising and hits and viewers and will degrades the choueiry boycots...
4- for direct impact and to politically cut the market into 2 .. listing of brands and names will give a great impact in newspapers and internet and billboards.. but also will give a fear side of OTV from the advertisement Giant. C-Group. and I donno if it is legally feasible to list names.
5- Getting good figures like Shadi hanna the producer of Slchi when he made the OTV advertising .. it brings better hope .. also the basmat wattan ( charbel khalil ) maguy fara7 and othersss will bring credibility more to the station ..

If you want to be useful, you prepare an organized demo for that, the way people do it everywhere in the world. You bring people with banners, each one having the brand or the advertising company that is boycotting for political reasons, extremely visible, you invite the stations and newspapers and all media. Or you do a press conference and you name things, NAME them, not say some companies, some brands.
Abd you will see how many many brands will move in no time. Their $$$ for them are more important than Hariri, GMA, or any political bickering.

This is good.
I mean why can't we ask other agencies to conduct a poll on the matter?

Carrera, you mentioned at the beginning, that at a poll by Ipsos, OTV ranked second in Lebanon. Does OTV have the right to publish these results?
