10. Scandal on ABC ($225,000 per 30 seconds)
While most TV series suffer from declining ratings, Scandal has its own ups and downs. When it was first aired in 2012, more than 8 million viewers tuned into ABC every week for juicy and thrilling political romance.
Then two years ago, the show reached its peak with almost 13 million viewers. It granted the show a better time slot at 9 PM on Thursdays, one hour earlier than the initial time slot. However, the number slightly decreased back to around 11 million last season.
Despite all that, the show is still a big hit. People are talking about it. They talk about how Olivia Pope runs her crisis management business. And yet she stumbles upon her own personal scandal with the President. Will she be able to manage her own crisis?
The show is just the perfect spot to put your ads if you want to reach millions of customers. And ABC network charges $225,000 for one 30-second ads aired during Scandal.
