A TV spot is like an advert you see on television for services or products. It has a story, actors and a message and it aims to convince the viewer of the benefits of the product or service the advertiser is promoting.

An advertising spot is a multimedia advertisement that airs at a specific time. Businesses choose where and when they want their advertisement to appear, also known as the spot. Advertising spots first became popular on televisions, where 30- and 60-second ads ran during commercial breaks.

Spot advertising is the most commonly used form of paid-for-advertising on Commercial Radio. Spot airtime can be bought across different day parts and days of the week depending on the objectives of your campaign.

Network TV Advertising A “network” buy is when brands purchase air time directly through a national cable channel such as ESPN or Food Network.

A 30-second slot on daytime TV can cost between £1,100 to £2,200 peak rates for shows such as Hollyoaks and Catastrophe are around £10,000 to £20,000. Channel 4 have done a great job of acquiring top-rated shows and commissioning must-watch shows like Gogglebox.

In advertising, a "spot" refers to a commercial or advertisement that is aired on TV or radio. It is a common term used in broadcast advertising to describe a specific length of time that an ad runs. The length of a spot can vary, but typical spot lengths are 15 seconds, 30 seconds, 60 seconds, or sometimes longer.

A national airing is exactly what it says (i.e. the entire country watching the network will see the ad) and it is typically sold by the cable network or broadcaster directly. In contrast, a local airing is a spot sold by a network affiliate or a multichannel video programming distributor (MVPD) such as Comcast.
