Fox Reportedly Already Sold Out Of Super Bowl Ad Inventory

Fox has "sold the last of the commercials" for its telecast of Super Bowl XLV from Cowboys Stadium, according to a source cited by Jon Lafayette of BROADCASTING & CABLE. There are usually "a couple of spots remaining up until the weekend of the game, but this year sales have moved quickly." The last two remaining 30-second spots were still unsold earlier this week, but an "unidentified advertiser agreed to pay the $3 million Fox was seeking plus buy time in pregame programming"
(BROADCASTINGCABLE.com, 10/27). Meanwhile, Go Daddy yesterday announced it will advertise in the Super Bowl for the seventh consecutive year. The company bought two 30-second spots during the game and a single 30-second pregame ad for Fox’ broadcast. The ads will feature endorsers Danica Patrick and Jillian Michaels (Go Daddy).
