what's the ballpark figure for a 30-min infomercial?
 

from production to broadcast. i know nothing about this process. are there companies that can do the whole thing for you? produce it and buy the airtime?

good question. I do know an hour spot on QVC is about 100,000. For some reason I want to say its a bit lower for national 'evening' airtime on the larger networks, but im not positive anymore.

i assume you buy the time from the local cable companies, right? although at this point it's national companies.

Depends on Stations . time slot and content ......

Direct TV and Dish Network sell national time only and that makes it much more simple but I think you will reach a more rurual and older population.

Dealing with your local cable company sales people can be a headache.

You can buy some really cheap cable time if you buy into time slots that go unsold. Email me at [email protected] and I will send you over a rate card that a sales guy sent me recently.

you've the mail.

I sent u one too, im interested
