BBC - Public Service Message
Sorry, the address you are looking for is not available.

To access specific areas directly you can type the address in the format: http://www.bbc.co.uk/'service or programme title'
e.g. The Radio 1, BBC One and BBC Weather websites can be found at the following addresses:

Alternatively you can search bbc.co.uk
Also, http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/theeditors/2007/10/adverts_on_bbccom_1.html
International users of the BBC website will get ads. Will that affect h2g2? Probably not, he suggests that BBC.com will contain mainly news content. Presumably international users will be redirected to http://bbc.com from http://news.bbc.com or from http://bbcnews.com.

redirected? Why not just have them go there in the first place?

Indeed, but if they want to keep the news.bbc.co.uk page for UK viewers only, they'll have to detect non-UK visitors, and redirect them to equivalent pages on the bbc.com website, which will presumably contain the same content, plus ads.
Websites can tell where in the world you are. F19585?thread=4692541.

Well, they've put ads on without redirecting. But still no ads on hootoo (praise be!).

At the moment, if I watch video items on the BBC News page, there is an ad at the start, then the news report. I'm in Ireland, so I get ads targeted at Ireland, such as an ad for Bank of Ireland.

Irritating. I've heard people say that they even dub ads with local-ish accents, and it's noticed if you flick between some of the channels that show the different versions. Haven't noticed myself though.
