Claudiom,

Below you will find the results of my research regarding TV ad rates.


?Local TV: A 30-second television commercial on a local station in a
top 10 market ranges from $4,000, generally during a movie, to $45,000
for time on one of the highest-rated shows.

Network TV: A 30-second spot in prime time ranges from $80,000 to
$600,000, depending on how high a show is rated and the show's genre.
The average is $120,000 to $140,000.

Cable TV: A 30-second spot in prime time runs between $5,000 and
$8,000, depending on the network.?

cost of a 30-second commercial on NBC, FOX, ABC and CBS was $148,000,
while WB and UPN were cheaper at an average of $51,700. On popular
shows such as Friends, ER and Everybody Loves Raymond, the price
soared to between $242,000 and $425,400, while a commercial on last
year's most expensive show, Survivor, cost $445,000.

Cable TV

The average price for a 30-second spot on cable TV is far more
variable, running from as little as $250 during off-hours on the
Travel Channel to $1 million on MTV during special programming.?
