I'll clarify that we're not aware of any. We have had a couple of instances when people have said that they've been close, and we investigated them.

I'll give you one example where someone said the ad had dovetailed, and it was during the Academy Awards, as an example. When we did a check, the ads were not in the same station break; they were about ten minutes apart. So it wasn't in the same station break, but regardless we felt they could have been spread further apart. The broadcaster has agreed to make good on that and will do a make-good on that.
