Now the metro ski show. So thats just aimed at Londoners, one might suggest.
Metro is owned by the same people as the Daily Mail.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

If it's sponsored by The Metro (a free newspaper) I wonder if the ski show will become free to enter? That might encourage me to visit it

'Metro' is the newspaper that made it socially acceptable to pick up discarded newspapers on trains. Previously people did not really do this.
One bloke on my train gets in at one end and walks the length of the train just to ensure he gets a copy !
The evening paper - the 'Sub Standard Lite' - is also a free sheet although you can purchase copies of the later edition. I believe that is also owned by the 'Daily Mail'. So the majority of commuters are 'Daily Mail' readers these days.

In London maybe - I'm always on the lookout. In pubs too.

Seriously though, a brave move changing the brand in the same year that a competing show is launched.

Martin Bell, I am not in marketing, but I would compare it to football.
The premiereship is still the same whether it is sponsored by Barclays or Nationwide.
The League Cup is still the League Cup regardless of whether Worthington are involved.

I have always done this (in London). Must be my tight-ar53 northern roots showing through

Latchigo, good point, but by what other title can the Daily Mail Ski Show be known? The "London Ski Show"? Well, there are two of those this year. The "Olympia Ski Show" - but for half of its history it was at Earls Court. Still, I am sure a show with a quarter-century pedigree is strong enough to survive a change of sponsor.

You know it makes sense.

It's a cracking read too! We get it here in Gloucester. On the buses every morning on our way into school we'll pick up a copy and we will invariably find a cracking article. It's usually a ridiculous wee wee take of something or it's just plain silly. Fills us with hours of laughter.
We've even found articles for use in Biology - two to be exact! One was about innate and learned behaviour and the other was to do with brain make-up, something about how men and women's brains differ, and which hemispheres are stronger in which, ultimately leading to women having worse spacial awareness (but better at other things before I get attacked - ironing for example ), the article was of a woman who'd managed to park in a lake (yes, actually in it, about 10 metres from the edge!).

I think it might be a smart move to push attendance up. There's a substantial demographic who would rather die than knowingly associate themselves with the Daily Mail and yet have plenty of money to spend on wintersports and Metro has been very successful at getting 18-30 year olds to read newspapers AFAIK.

Surely Daily Mail readers are too scared of kids with hoodies to leave their own home let alone go on the tube...

Yes, but Metro readers may also be cheapskates, which would not help.
