The BBC could show a McDonald's logo and be compliant with Ofcom regulations.
It is purely a decision made by the two broadcasters for their own reasons.”

They wouldn't be compliant. BT were cautioned recently for their coverage of the Little League World Series with a sponsors logo on screen; they now cut very quickly to their static logo when companies are credited. I doubt either the BBC or Sky would take such a odd stance to a score bar logo if it wasn't for advertising and compliance reasons; considering in previous matches they have shown it.
