Which different types of Television Advertisements exist?

When it comes to TV ads, the top of the head thought would be those video commercials. But there’s a lot more to it than just that. Let’s explore some options for TV advertising below.

• Regular FCT Ads
  • The most popular format on TV. These are the TVCs that play during the break.
• L Band
  • These are L-shaped ad strips played on TV while the content is being shown. These too cost a little more premium than regular ads as they’re run during the course of the content.
• Aston Band
  • These are those flash ads that appear at the bottom of the screen during various shows. They cost a little bit more premium than other formats as they’re playing along with the show's content without taking a break.
• Teleshopping Ad
  • These are product-specific ads run on TV, and produced in the format of programs. They can be anywhere between 10 to 30 minutes long and are mostly played in non-peak hours which also accounts for its lower advertising cost.
• Scrollers Ad
  • These ads are those that keep scrolling from one end to the other on news channels. This is a shorter format of advertising and their rates depend on the channel they’re being advertised on.

What are the rates of Television Advertising in India?

The cost of television advertising varies depending on the channels you choose to advertise on, their viewership, and TRPs during any given time slot. The standard quote for television advertising is given by the cost of a 10-second ad being played once. So, if a channel’s rate for ads is ₹1000, then the advertiser has to pay ₹1000 every time that ad is played.

The time of the ad’s appearance on screen is also a factor in deciding the cost. The time band with the brightest viewership is called ‘Prime Time’ where the cost is the highest. You can also choose to go for RODP (Run Of The Day Part) where the ads get equally distributed throughout the day. Apart from this, cost varies for HD & Non-HD channels.

The rates for television advertising are of course, not constant and keep varying from time to time throughout the year.
