market spots

But these days, they are becoming popular marketing spots as they begin to accept more branded messages.

Although they advise against doing infomercials, they do not caution against making commercials, as in Olbermann's Boston Market spots.

In criticizing the contests, Mr. Marsh said the mass market spots talent well enough: "The mob chose Elvis Presley, the mob chose James Brown, the mob chose the Beatles."

Today's Columns NBC,in marketing spots for the 1992 Summer Olympics, has sold 96 to 97 percent of the $500 million worth of commercial time it has intended to make available during its 161 hours of Olympic coverage.

They cited commercials sponsored by advertisers and featuring stars of network programs and so-called cause-related marketing spots such as a series of moderation messages, carrying the theme "Know when to say when," paid for by the beer maker Anheuser-Busch Inc.
