So my mom works at ABC. Traffic control manager for the station out here in the Bay Area. I was curious as to just how much the actual finals matchup affects company revenue (if it did at all) and it turns out, the difference was huge.
ABC has a each 30 second commercial time slot with the Heat/Spurs matchup projected at $21,692. A Pacers/Spurs matchup is projected to be $15,331.
Thats a huge difference in company revenue. May prove to be meaningless information as I highly doubt a blatent rig job will take place but I can only imagine each TNT has similar numbers. Not a conspiracy theorist but at the end of the day, business is business.
And another thing, totally seperate. I can't imagine Stern would want Hibbert competing for a championship after those contraversial comments? Certain people may not watch because of him, no?
