LOST Finale: $900,000 For A 30 Sec Ad


On Sunday, May 23rd, the TV forecast looks a little cloudy with a chance of cash-money! TV By The Numbers is reporting that the series finale of LOST could rank up there with other popular TV show series finales like Friends and Seinfeld.

"The cost of a 30-second ad in the finale episode of Lost is coming in around a whopping $900,000, according to media buyers. [...] During last year's upfront, a 30-second spot for "Lost" was selling for an average of $213,563, according to Advertising Age's annual survey of ad costs in prime-time broadcast shows."

For a monumental finale of this caliber, I'm not surprised. In fact, I think that average may rise just a bit more. Jeez, just hearing about the upcoming finale makes me sad. What are we losties to do??
