WOLV-TV ADVERTISING RATES 2005-2006

There will be two options for businesses to advertise with WOLV-TV. Underwrite (=sponsor) an episode of a program or all episodes of that program (excluding news), or Advertise with a 30-second spot (=graphic/film footage +voice over) on any program. The difference is this: when a business underwrites/sponsors a program, they will be briefly credited at the beginning and at the end of the program (?this show is brought to you tonight by ___, etc.) AND have their 30-second spot run during the program. With advertising only, the business ONLY has their 30-second spot run during the program.? News will be advertise-only (not able to underwrite) in order to ensure that there is no interpretation of affiliation or endorsement. Only 1 business may underwrite a show, but any number may advertise on any show.

  1. Advertise: Purchasing an advertising option means that on 1 episode of any program, your 30-second spot (graphic + voice-over) will air during the show. When the show is re-run, your advertisement will be included then as well.
