Microsoft’s mission to make Bing a household name on the UK airwaves has seen the company’s search engine become the new sponsor of The Simpsons on Channel 4, coinciding with the show’s 20th anniversary. According to Campaignlive.co.uk, this will be the first time Microsoft has used TV sponsorship to promote its products. The Silicon Valley software giant previously planned to use the more controversial Family Guy to promote its Windows 7 launch in the US last October, until plans were scapped when executives watched the taping of the show and felt that its risqué subject matter was “not a fit with the Windows brand.” The Bing idents have been created by Interpublic agency Universal McCann, and will be placed before and after episodes of The Simpsons on Channel 4 and Channel 4 +1, as well as during ad breaks
