IMD TV Deadlines  
 

UK & ROI Deliveries

IMD knows no day at an agency is ever the same. To meet your needs we offer two different services:

Use our 4 hour standard service for your regular campaigns (we need copy by 17:00).

When time really matters the quickest Express service in the UK and ROI will get your commercial to the stations in just 60 minutes (we need copy by 20:00).

Please call our TV team on 020 7468 6850 they will guide you on what service will suit you best. Our opening hours are 08:00 - 21:00, Mon - Fri.

Express service applies to digital delivery only. Tape delivery to London based channels will be made by 19:00 for copy received up until 15:00. For copy received after 15:00, delivery will either be before 19:00 that same day, or as soon as possible the next day. Tape delivery to channels based outside London will generally be the next day during normal business hours.

UK and ROI broadcasters operate their own opening hours and some will not accept copy outside these hours. Therefore, we will only send out tape to sites that we know to be open and willing to accept copy. All other tapes will be dispatched the following morning.

International Deliveries

We can deliver to most international sites either digitally via a third party or using tape and courier. Most of these deliveries are made during working hours the next day, however some international sites require a longer delivery time. These will be discussed at the time of booking.

Verification

You will receive a verification report via email, confirming the clock number and the date and time that each commercial was received at the individual broadcast sites. Digital broadcast sites will show the time that your commercial was received on each site’s server. The tape based broadcast sites will show the time that the tape was signed for at the location. We can provide a signature on request.

Flexibility

We are here to help and can offer you the flexibility that you sometimes need. If you have an urgent deadline, or require a helping hand then give us a call and we can see what we can do to help.
