Madison Avenue and violence don't mix
Article Abstract:
A study was conducted on 720 undergraduates at Iowa State University to find out whether violence in television movie viewing influences or doesn't influence retention of advertising messages. Results seems to indicate that viewers who got angry from watching the more violent movies remembered almost nothing from the ads. Even recall at a later time, when the anger had supposedly subsided, yielded no memory of the products or the messages.

TV business news has late-night gold
Article Abstract:
CNN is a TV brand name to be reckoned with; and its 'Moneyline' business news program does almost as well as CNBC's 'Business Center' and just a little better than Fox News' 'Your World with Neil Cavuto'. But 'Moneyline' takes the ratings by a long shot in re-runs, 11:30 p.m - midnight. It also charges the most for advertising air time, about $7,000 for 30 seconds in either timeslot, early or late.
