Which Ones are the most Famous?
A company name like Electronic Data Services is no match for images of cowboys driving cats across the open range, winding giant balls of yarn and comparing scratches. The indelible, hilarious image of a massive football player crushing office workers with violent tackles is a Super Bowl classic. All the while, a CEO extolls the increases in productivity derived from Tate delivering thundering hits and chastising people for not putting cover sheets on their TPS reports.
With the rotating schedule, each network gets three Super Bowls over the length of the contract. So, while the Super Bowl brings in a ton of revenue for a single game, it’s still just a piece of a very large pie. Remember, however, that they only get to do that once every three years. That still doesn’t really answer the question of why Super Bowl commercials cost as much as they do. Networks make back most of that money (and eventually, profit) by selling ads during regular season games. A single Super Bowl broadcast will bring in around $250 million in advertising fees to the network. This is no surprise; after all, NFL games are among the highest-rated programs on television each fall.
