Cleveland TV ads miss national spotlight says industry
National television advertisers avoid Cleveland and other Northeast markets despite bargain rates. The Television Bureau of Advertising notes Cleveland and Detroit are not seen as prime selling areas as Sun Belt markets attract more spend. Cleveland ad buys totaled about 102 to 105 million last year with roughly 55 percent from national spots. Executives anticipate modest growth in 1984, while Dallas and Houston forecast much larger gains. Cleveland stations plan surveys and possible multimedia promotions to boost the market's appeal to national advertisers.
