Press
Pudsey to donate through your TV
This
year Pudsey Bear will be encouraging millions of digital TV viewers
to press Pudsey to donate to 成人快手 Children in Need.
From
11 to 18 November digital satellite viewers will be prompted to
press the Pudsey "donate" icon on their screen to submit
donations to help raise money for children's charities across the
UK.
Digital
satellite viewers can press the red button on their remote control
during Bargain Hunt, Ready Steady Cook and the 成人快手's Children in
Need show on Friday 15 November to make a pledge for any amount
between 拢5 and 拢1,000.
Once
Digital Satellite viewers press the red button the programme shrinks
to a quarter screen and viewers are taken through a simple step
by step guide that allows then to make a donation.
Digital
Cable viewers will be able to press to RED and have access to pages
of content about 成人快手's Children in Need.
Freeview
viewers will have access to a special 成人快手 Children in Need section
of digital text during the appeal show on Friday 15 November.
The
service provides all the latest news stories from the charity as
well as details of how to donate.
Emma
Somerville, 成人快手i's Head of 24/7, said: "We decided for the
first time to change the usual call to action press red icon to
the familiar brand of Pudsey the Bear with the word donate.
"Digital
Satellite viewers will be able to clearly see the icon relates to
the 成人快手's Children in Need appeal which will hopefully trigger them
pressing red and donating to the charity.
"We
hope it will give people a better understanding of what 'pressing
red' is all about."
This
follows on from last year's successful initiative which saw almost
拢500,000 donated via interactive TV.
