M*A*S*H – What Even Die Hard Fans Don’t Know!
Advertising Costs
To advertise during this show it would have cost you a cool $30,000 when the show first started. That is a lot. And we can assume that the creators hoped that whatever was advertised during this show made them that $30,000 back with profit. Because the show was so popular it probably did.
Now remember we mentioned that the finale of this show had set a record? How much do you think it cost to advertise during the finale? if you guessed one million dollars you are wrong. If you said over a quarter of a million at $450,000 then you are correct.
