The first ever television advertisement
was broadcaster on July 1st 1941 in the US over the New York station WNBT.
The advertisement was
for watchmaker Bulova (manufacturer of watches and clocks. Its headquarters is located in New York City).
The Ad showed Bulova logo
with the phrase "Bulova Watch Time", was shown in
the lower right-hand quadrant of the test pattern while the second hand swept
around the dial for one minute. The background being the map of United States. (The
voice over it says "America runs on Bulova time").
The ad was shown
before a baseball game between the
Brooklyn Dodgers and Philadelphia
Phillies ,The ad lasted about 10 seconds, for which the company paid
anywhere from
$4.00 (Rs.268.32) to $9.00 (Rs.603.72) (reports
vary), a TV
spot on a national television channel, during peak view demand like a sports
game, would today cost several million dollars.
