Of the top five spot advertisers in the 2005 third quarter, all but one spent less than they did in the same period a year ago: #1 DaimlerChrysler (down 5.8 percent), #2 General Motors Dealers Association (down 3 percent), #3 Toyota Dealers Association (up 7.8 percent), Ford Dealers Association (down 21.6 percent), and General Motors (down 41.3 percent).
TVB has expressed optimism that spot revenues in 2006 will climb between 6.1 percent and 7.9 percent over last year--although that would mark a lower year-over-year increase for previous Olympic/election years.
