Wikipedia defines pro bono as follows - "Pro bono publico (English: for the public good; usually shortened to pro bono) is a Latin phrase generally used to describe professional work undertaken voluntarily and without payment or at a reduced fee as a public service... Pro bono service, unlike traditional volunteerism, uses the specific skills of professionals to provide services to those who are unable to afford them."
Poor TV3, doubtless it will be offering its advertising time free, pro bono before during and after these programmes.

I have heard it all. Isn't there a law against this. To quote a well known actress "There are actors out there living of a can of beans." I wonder if the producers of this are working as they say pro bono? To quote my Father "If you work for nothing, you will never be out of a job." In our age of celebrity obsessed culture no doubt they will find plenty of cannon fodder to try and hog 15 minutes of fame. Equity are you out there?
