Ford has signed a deal with Channel 4 to run ads in front of the mobile video content on the Channel 4 mobile site.
Channel 4 has added expanded their mobile site to include a range of ad-funded video content, including clips from Desperate Housewives, Popworld, and Hollyoaks. The video clips are free, as they are funded by a 10 second pre-roll video from Ford.
This is what the home page looks like on the Channel 4 mobile site:


When you click on the “Best of C4 Vids” link, you get to choose what video clips to see. When you click on the Desperate Housewives link, you get to a launch page:


And finally, here are a couple of sample clips. The first is a sneak preview of the next episode of Desperate Housewives (with a Ford pre-roll ad).
