The world’s 1st TV commercial aired on July 1, 1941 during a Brooklyn Dodgers game…
The :10 spot was for Bulova watches and has a voice-over that says “America runs on Bulova time” (Dunkin Donuts should be paying them a royalty): Bulova paid $9 for the media.
It’s kind of funny how we are all enamored with the “new” idea of shorter length video adverts (:06, :10, :15), when the whole game started with a :10 spot. What’s old is new.
