Why I’ve managed to speak to somebody in the past and they have been able to squeeze me in.
We have made a number of changes to our systems to improve quality to our Advertisers, making very late changes have, in a small number of cases, had detrimental effects on other customers in the past. We are therefore strictly applying our deadline policy to ensure all pre-booked Advertisements or announcements are correctly handled at all times.
