FOX SUPER BOWL LI SPOTS COST MORE THAN $5M<\/strong> In 2014, NBC asks $4.5 million for Super Bowl commercials. It takes until just a few days before its 2015 broadcast of Super Bowl XLIX to sell out its inventory. According to Variety, Fox wants to push the cost of advertising in Super Bowl LI up to more than $5 million per 30-second spot, which sets a new record. One Variety source, who is familiar with the negotiations, tells the paper that Fox Sports in some cases seeks $5.6 million or higher.<\/p>\n

JAY WALKER [CBS Radio Dallas\/KJKK FM\/Infinity KTSA-550\/KTFM FM\/Own Jay Walker Prod\/Jay Walker Competitive Audio consultant 40 Plus Years In Radio] (Ft. Worth-Hurst, TX)<\/strong> Subject: AT&T \u2013 Time Warner merger. Merging the two largest internet\/cable TV companies will not do any good for the consumer for several reasons. When a company is the only game in town there\u2019s no reason to improve performance or rates. As I said\u2026 \u201c\u2026monopolies stifle technology which is why the US does not even show up in the top 10 list of average internet connection speeds. We rank BELOW \u2018techno giants\u2019 Romania, Mongolia, Peru, Mexico, and so many others. Our average peak connection speed in the US is 57.3mb which 20% of the US can achieve compared to Singapore where it\u2019s 135.7mb.\u201d The previous paragraph should piss you off. The US ranks BELOW Romania!!!! And it\u2019s all because lack of competition has killed the incentive to be \u2018better\u2019<\/em>.<\/p>\n

JOANIE GREEN [KPRC TV CH 2, KZEW FM, KFWD FM, KNOK FM, KAUM FM, KILT FM, KNUZ-1230, Metro Traffic, Houston Taping for the Blind] (Tulsa, OK)<\/strong> Hi Jim, I spent 17 years at CH 2, KPRC. I started out in the newsroom on the assignments desk, then was asked to be newsroom secretary. I went with Stone when he was cutting back and was doing the Ron Stone Show and moved out of the newsroom into the Production Dept. I was then given a chance to write and produce \u201cHouston Country Tracks\u201d for the station and we had musical acts coming in every week. I also wrote and produced segments for \u201cTeenz on TV\u201d and \u201cThe Eyes of Texas.\u201d Then, when Post-Newsweek took over, I was almost out of a job. I was brought back from the Jaws of Unemployment by being offered the Engineering Secretary job, which I took. That was when we were going through the changeover from an analog to digital signal and our division was one hopping department trying to make that happen smoothly. We were one of the nation\u2019s early stations to do that because of the size of the market and how the FCC was starting the rollout of markets by size. I remember helping coordinate the buying of over 80 monitors for the newsroom\u2019s back wall. Even though I don\u2019t work there anymore, I\u2019m still a member of \u201cThe Channel 2 Crew\u201d and get newsletters and they have a picnic every year that I\u2019m invited to\u2026one of these years I\u2019m going back to go to it! I just like keeping up with them and still being included. Take care and talk with you soon. Joan<\/em><\/p>\n
