Network Spot Rates Holding Steady

MediaPost | by TVNewsCheck

For almost two-and-a-half years, broadcast network television commercial costs have been up or virtually flat — reversing declines in previous years due to the recession, among other factors. That trend continued in 2012. Third-quarter commercial unit costs averaged $82,396, virtually the same as 2011. Fox is at the highest level, with $119,265.
