Broadband Content Bits: Virgin Ad Merger, BBC Redesign

- Virgin Media: The TV/broadband/telco provider is merging its online and interactive TV ad sales units - with 12 and 86 people respectively -  to serve agency demand for multi-platform campaigns, Media Week says. It means Virgin will sell ads across its website and TV platform together.
