ABC has sold out its first-half Super Bowl inventory and has only about 10 units left for the game, a network source said. About 45 of the 61 total 30-second units have been sold, and six or so are on hold as the network wraps up negotiations with advertisers poised to buy.

The price range, according to the network, is $2.4 million to $2.8 million, with the average right around $2.6 million. The one advertiser who paid $2.8 million bought a single 30-second unit in the first half in an “A” position, meaning its commercial will be the first in its pod. The only A positions left now are in the fourth quarter.

ABC has successfully leveraged Super Bowl advertisers into also buying units and sponsorships for the pregame show, making it more of a priority than Fox did last year. Fox actually never sold some pregame show sponsorship positions, saying it simply didn’t need to, but ABC already has sold a presenting sponsorship for every half-hour position other than from 3 to 3:30 p.m. ET.

The pregame show will run a tad under four hours this year, beginning at 2:30 p.m. An NBA game will be the lead-in, with the New York Knicks hosting the Houston Rockets.

Surprise that the NBA didn't try to schedule a Lebron-Kobe or a Shaq-Kobe matchup for this.

on a side note, i developed the software that the ad agencies use to purchase advertising time on tv and radio. in fact, i bet you they used MY PROGRAM to buy the superbowl spots as well. too bad i don't get commission on that bad boy.

fish, killa - we need to work that "office space" scam.

IT would have to be a turn around from the courner, and he is in the locker room when it swishes in!

He is called out for an encore!

BIG GAME JAMES will outplay Yao so bad, it's gonna cause an international incident.

A Basketball opener for the Superbowl is a good idea!
Another season, and more adversity to persevere through. We will get the job done, even BETTER than last year. GO KNICKS!
