General Motors said it will not advertise during next year’s Super Bowl due to CBS’s steep price hike, estimating increases of 25 to 30 percent over NBC rates. GM spent about 4.5 billion on global ads last year as it reshapes its buying approach to save about 2 billion, including pulling 10 million in Facebook ads this week.
