Re: What crap! said by wifi4milez: In fact, the process before the ads would go live will likely take up to 30 days, if not more. Where did you get that info? I could call up a TV or radio station today and be running my ads tomorrow... |

I could call up a TV or radio station today and be running my ads tomorrow... Perhaps on a local station in Bublefork Iowa, yes. Try calling NBC, or even their local affiliate WNBC (here in NYC) and tell them you want to run an ad tomorrow. They will laugh in your face and hang up. What I think a lot of people reading this dont understand is that advertising is bought in advance for a particular time slot. You cant simply call up and say "I want my ad to run tomorrow" as you suggest (the 3am slot doesnt count  ) as someone else has already likely paid for that slot.

| You wouldn't call up your local NBC affiliate, you'd call you whoever deals with running local ads in your area (a.k.a, the advetising dept of your local cable company). |

That is incorrect. NBC (and in my case WNBC) is a network, not a cable channel. There is a big difference. If you want to advertise on national NBC or the local affiliate, you contact that office directly to buy advertising. History Channel on the other hand is a channel that is played on cable, and in that case you would contact the advertising department of your local cable company.

| Cable companies have ad spots that they sell, which is what we're talking about, Verizon selling ad spots.
We're not talking about network affiliates.
We're talking about a cable company selling spots to advertisers and not telling the truth about actual number of subscribers. We're not talking about WNBC selling to advertisers which has nothing to do with Verizon or any other cable company. |

You're confused. Verizon is selling inserts, like the cableco's do.
And you bet your sweet ass WNBC would take your money! |
