What is a clock number? A clock number is given to a commercial to identify a particular version and it is unique to a particular product. The clock number is made up of 15 characters. For example: AMV/BTBB001/030 AMV – this represents either the creative agency or the production house BT – in this example the product is British Telecom BB – the product is broadband 001 – is the version number of the broadband commercial 030 – represents the time length of the commercial, in this example 30 seconds The clock number is given to the commercial by the production house, sometimes by the creative agency, that produces the commercial. It is responsible for sending the final version of the commercial to Clearcast for approval. A digital buyer would contact the production house for the latest clock number(s) for the commercial. Please note the vod creative needs to match the clock number exactly, a linear clock number cannot be used for a VOD commercial if it is not identical. Clearcast Creative is required five working days before campaign start date. All creatives are subject to channel 5 approval. Please refer to channel 5’s standard terms and conditions for advertising.
