COUNTDOWN CLOCKS

This high-impact format is ideal for grabbing the viewer's attention and airs adjacent to selected Radio-Canada programs.

Available in :10, :15 or :30 sec formats with both standard or custom frames, the countdown format allows a tie-in with programming. It also offers an array of creative possibilities for promoting your brand.
