A Commercial on the ER Finale Is Gonna Cost Ya!
Filed under: TV News > Media Minute
NBC is expecting some mayjah ratings for their E.R. finale.
The last episode ever, a two hour finale, will air on April 2nd and will feature several former cast members, including George Clooney and Noah Wyle.
NBC is asking almost half a million dollars for a thirty second commercial during the finale!
Seriously.
In this economy!!!!!
TNS Media Intelligence, which tracks rate card ad pricing, states that most ads this season were going for $135,000. Media buyers are saying that the last episode is asking between $425,000 and $500,000.
Though the figures aren't as good as CBS had back in 2005 when Everybody Loves Raymond ended. They were able to sell their 30-second ads for $1.3 million! And when Friends ended in 2004, NBC charged $2.3 million!
Crazy amounts of money are being thrown around when most people just fast forward through the commercials anyway thanks to TiVo!

THE PULSE-POUNDING THRILLER! “Emotion filled…asks the reader to always ask and always tell, no matter how strong the urge to resist.” —Los Angeles Times
Money money… hope the last one is worth the price…
Who watches?? I do. The show was wonderful in its heyday.
Then Dr. Archie and John Stamos came along…
I will watch the two hour finale and say goodbye to Drs. Greene, Carter, Ross, Benton, Weaver, Gallant… actors Mekhi, Goran, the nurses and staff… It was nice to have a Chicago-based series, and I learned a thing or two over the decade and a half the show aired.
Charging, 200. Clear!!
Re: Kate27 – I doubt it. Clonney looks a little "different" now….
I never, ever thought George Clooney was hot… I almost barfed a little when he made out with J-Lo in that one movie (forgot the title). Psshhhhh!
Don't you understand the economy Perez? If the studios bring in cash then they can spend more, hire more people, purchase more items. It's common sense.
Is this show EVER going away?! I've been hearing that it's the last season forever! CANCEL IT ALREADY! Who f_ckin' cares?
I'll be at the Britney Spears Concert!
