First BlackBerry TV ad spotted

**TorBold** · 01-28-2013, 07:59 PM

Monday, January 28, 2013 about 19:20 Toronto time (GMT-5 or Eastern North America) during a commercial break on the George Stromboulopoulos show on the CBC (Canadian Broadcasting Corporation).

Was about 1 second long, looked similar to a PlayBook boot screen, just had "BlackBerry 10" on the screen, no music.

Almost subliminal, was easy to miss. Sorry I didn't PVR the show or I could grab a screen shot.

Only 2 more sleeps!

No, but if you have a PVR you could have hit rewind and took a snap of it lol

I'm visiting Canada to see my sister (I'm actually a Canadian citizen but I live in the us with my parents) and I saw the ad as well. I think they messed up and showed the ad before they were supposed to. It was probably so short because they figured it out and stopped it (also they will cut off commercials to fit them all into the advertising bloc)
