Actually, Kunga, if you take into account Andrew's post saying that
they were looking at CPMs of $50-150/episode
(http://groups.yahoo.com/group/videoblogging/message/32269), that
would be approximately:
$50 CPM x 200 (ie. 200 thousand viewers) = At least $10,000/episode
$10,000/episode x 5 days =
According to the CBS interview last August, the space of a 15 second
ad is worth about $750,000 a year now @ 150,000 circulation. So their
reserve should be about $15,000 for a week of 15 second or $30,000
for a week of 30 second ads, perhaps $60,000 for a one minute ad x 5.
