First TV Commercial
29 July 2011
Image of the commercial for Bulova clocks
The first television commercial premiered on July 1, 1941 during a baseball game between the Brooklyn Dodgers and Philadelphia Phillies. It was purchased by the Bulova company to promote their clocks with the phrase, “America Runs on Bulova Time.” Bulova paid $9 for the world’s first commercial spot.

that is way too funny, and isn’t it crazy how the price of a commercial has gone sky high, in more ways than one:)
Especially when a 30-second commercial spot during the 2010 Super Bowl cost an estimated $2.6 million!
