well-designed archive of Presidential Campaign commercials. I never
forgot watching Lyndon Johnson's "
Peace Little Girl" spot when I

1952 to the present. You can view them broken down by year, the type
of commercial (BackFire, Biographical, Fear, Real-people). It is
interesting that, while less slick, ads haven't changed all that much,
and the rhetoric seems just as strong (at least to me). It is also
quite amusing to see things such as Carter's ad accusing Reagan of
being a Flip-Flopper on, of all things, nuclear proliferation."

pathetic commie-era TV ads. It's no surprise the suicide rate was so
high over there. I was ready to open a vein just watching these clips.
Or maybe it was the fact that they're in Windows Media format, the
only format even more hideous than Real Player. I guess it's the
perfect media player to showcase these TV spots -- Windows Media feels
like it was invented by eastern european scientists who had KGB agents
holding guns to their heads.

TiVo Users Watch More Commercials
TiVo Users Watch More Commercials
05/26/2004 12:20 PMOur LA-based sister-site Defamer has a great write-up about a recent
study that shows people that use a TiVo (or other DVR) may actually be
watching more commercials than those that watch regular TV. The boil
down is this: people...
TiVo Users May See More Commercials...
Sort Of
TiVo Users May See More Commercials...
Sort Of
05/26/2004 02:41 AMThere have been studies in the past that showed that TiVo (or similar
DVR users) often can recall the commercials they've fast forwarded
through. Now, Dave Pell from
Davenetics points us to a new study that actually suggests
DVR
users see more commercials - even though they're just fast
forwarding through them. Basically, the people most likely to have
and use a DVR device are the same people who were likely to simply
channel surf when commercial came on in the past - meaning they saw
very few commercials. Now, however, while they may be fast forwarding
through the commercials, they are still at least "seeing" them - and
possibly getting some brand recognition. In fact, the survey suggests
the net impact of advertising on DVR users may be positive. Of
course, it might help if broadcasters and advertisers continued to
look at more
creative
advertising solutions. As Dave suggests, "The first advertiser
to shoot commercials in slow motion wins."
Bad Commercials Trigger DVR Fast
Forwarding
Bad Commercials Trigger DVR Fast
Forwarding
04/05/2005 02:15 PMWhile the story linked here is mostly about yet another overhyped
prediction saying that TiVo-like DVR devices are
"a
threat to commercial advertising," there are two interesting
points that seem obvious -- but haven't gotten much attention in these
debates. The first is that, while everyone figures out how to fast
forward through commercials, some people apparently forget
until a
bad commercial comes on. In other words, they're fine watching a
commercial that seems interesting, amusing or relevant -- but when the
bad commercials come on, they realize they are wasting their time.
The second point is that users of DVR's, while fast forwarding through
commercials do tend to be paying close attention to what's on the TV,
looking for "heavily branded screenshots" that indicate it's time to
stop fast-forwarding. While this idea has been taken and tweaked to
lead to
TiVo'
s popup ads during commercials, it does make you wonder if
advertisers will start designing more TiVo-friendly commercials which
would be heavily branded, even for people fast forwarding through. It
might also mean that some TV shows could try a branded intro shot,
with a statement along the lines of "Stop fast forwarding NOW!" which
could also be sponsored by various brands -- though, that could annoy
non-DVR using watchers.

Would Satellite TV Providers Ditch
Commercials?
Would Satellite TV Providers Ditch
Commercials?
01/03/2005 02:58 PMWith all this talk about the
battl
es convergence creates, one potentially interesting one is whether
or not pay TV providers would ever experiment with ripping out
commercials from programs. Already, some "premium" channels come
without commercials and satellite radio has tried the
"commercial-free" game also. However, plenty of existing TV stations
come with lots of commercials, leading to the possibility that a pay
TV provider could, in theory, offer a DVR service that would get rid
of commercials. That, at least, is the speculation after it was
revealed that UK satellite TV provider BSkyB has
received a patent for a DVR device that skips ads automatically or
that can just record portions of shows (such as just recording a
favorite band's appearance on a music video station). Of course, it
seems a bit questionable as to how this is patentable. Commercial
skip technology has been around for a while, and is hardly
"non-obvious." Also, BSkyB responds in the article in a way
suggesting they just got the patent to use it to charge anyone else
who dared to offer such features, while having no plans to offer the
feature themselves. Still, it does raise some interesting questions
about whether or not part of the battle is going to come from pay TV
providers (both cable and satellite) and the broadcasters. There have
already been a few very public battles about how much certain channels
cost to get included in a pay TV offering -- and it's not hard to see
the cable and satellite providers eventually respond by threatening to
cut out commercials to get some more leverage in the negotiations.

02/16/2004 12:57 AMApparently, the car racing video game Gran Tourismo has been so
popular helping automakers sell cars to young adults, that many car
companies are starting to
put out their own video games and are setting up places to play
the games in dealerships. The article talks about kids who play Gran
Tourismo and get so involved in modding and driving a specific car
that they want that car in real life as well. However, now that the
automakers are realizing this is a good way to sell cars, some are
wondering if the fad is over, suggesting that as soon as the folks in
suits figure something out, the kids know better than to stick around.
Still, it's yet another example of companies realizing that you're
better off creating promotional items that people
want, and
then getting them out there into the world.

Clear Channel Cuts Commercials To Just
Most Of The Time, Instead Of All
07/19/2004 02:51 PMI tend not to listen to very much radio at all, but when I do flip
around the dial, it does seem like commercial radio these days is
pretty much all commercials, all the time. Well, it looks like Clear
Channel is starting to realize that while they may own all the radio
stations out there, they're facing competition from satellite and
internet radio (as well as people listening to their own music via CD
players and digital music players). So, today, they've made a big
splash by announcing that all of their radio stations will
now have fewer commercials -- though, they don't say by how
much. Of course, if you read between the lines, the announcement is
also stating (though, not explicitly) that in doing so, Clear Channel
is also going to raise advertising fees. They're trying to limit
supply to push up the price, but this is coded as: "more effective
opportunities and value for their advertising dollar."
