U.S. Weed Channel  : Where Ad Spend Beats Traditional Network Ad Rates, Every Time.

The True Cost of Mass Broadcast Advertising for Niche Brands.  (Integrated: Broadcast Advertising)

Let's break down the economics. Securing spots on top broadcast networks or major cable channels means paying significant TV advertising costs, justified by massive Nielsen ratings. But for a cannabis brand, the math quickly unravels. If only 1-2% of that massive audience is your potential customer, you're effectively paying 50x-100x the network ad rates per relevant impression. That's staggering inefficiency. Factor in the creative adjustments needed to pass network television standards & practices, potential rejection, and the difficulty tracking direct ROI from broadcast  advertising – the financial hurdles become immense. It's a model built for mass-market products, not targeted industries like cannabis.
