LOST Among TV’s Biggest Moneymakers
ABC, Ratings
Via Forbes:
To determine which series generated the most advertising revenue in 2009, we turned to Kantar Media, formerly TNS Media Intelligence, which tracks ad spending. The firm surveyed all regularly scheduled prime-time shows, excluding sports franchises, for our third annual list of TV’s Top Moneymakers. For an apples-to-apples comparison of network programs of differing lengths, the series are ranked based on ad revenue per average 30 minutes.
To be sure, the revenue figures provided are estimates. The amount individual buyers actually forked over for their collection of 30-second spots varies, depending on everything from advertisers’ perceptions about a show’s value to their clout with the respective network. The broadcast networks’ continued viewership decline along with a recessionary marketplace factored into the decision-making process as well.
TV’s Biggest Moneymakers
1. ‘American Idol,’ Fox ($8.1 million in ad dollars per half hour)
2. ‘Two and a Half Men,’ CBS ($3.1 million)
3. ‘24,’ Fox ($3 million)
4. ‘Grey’s Anatomy,’ ABC ($2.8 million)
5. ‘V,’ ABC ($2.8 million)
6. ‘Desperate Housewives,’ ABC ($2.7 million)
7. ‘Dancing with the Stars,’ ABC ($2.56 million)
8. Lost
ABC
Revenue Per 30 Minutes: $2.53 million
For a cult-like series that requires intense focus and commitment, advertisers are willing to shell out. Collectively, buyers forked over more than $5 million per episode during the long-running and ever-popular series’ second to last season.
