How much would it cost to run a 30 second commercial on you're local News TV Station say... 10 times a week

Depends on where you are but the average is about $500-600 per run and if you are lucky, the station will match you spot for spot..for instance, lets say you buy 10 spots, you can negotiate they run it for 10 more free..

l would say somewhere in the range of 800-1200 but you might be able to make a deal if you buy bulk air time

are you guys sure on the price range of $500-$600 and $800-$1200 per run that only between $5000-$12000 a week to be ran 10 times a week. That seem kind of low to me anyway Take Care

Sounds like an algebra 1 question.

So l guess you really do use math in 'real life'.

It depends on which market (city) you are in. And then it depends on which station. And whether you are talking about the noon news, evening news or late news.

Average Early News in New York would cost about $25,000 per week. In Albany GA, it would cost about $600 per week. These are based on rates the the major advertisers pay. Someone less connected and skilled in buying TV time could pay twice that much.
