TV3 in two-show deal with Bank of Scotland

Bank of Scotland (Ireland) is to sponsor two high-profile shows on TV3, Tonight with Vincent Browne and a new Sunday business programme, Business Matters, presented by former Fine Gael minister and Celtic Bookmakers founder Ivan Yates.
The two parties agreed a one-year deal with an option to renew but no details of the value of the contract were released.
Tonight with Vincent Browne airs nightly Monday-Thursday from September 7th, while the Business Matters series starts on Sunday, September 13th at noon.
BoSI’s retail division, Halifax, previously sponsored the Late Late Show on RTE 1 Television. There has been speculation that the banking group plans to withdraw Halifax from the Irish market. Yates also co-presents the Newstalk breakfast show with Claire Byrne.
