Verizon Wireless Gains Most Exposure During NHL All-Star Game

During the NHL All-Star Game last Sunday at Philips Arena, Verizon Wireless earned in-broadcast totaling more than $1M from coverage on Versus in the U.S. and the CBC in Canada , according to research by Michigan-based Joyce Julius & Associates. Verizon Wireless' logo appeared clear and in-focus for slightly more than 37 minutes with both its on-ice logo and dasherboard signs. The exposure value totals are calculated by comparing each brand's on-screen time to the cost of a 30-second commercial during both the live broadcasts on both Versus and the CBC. Exposure time is listed in MM:SS (Joyce Julius).
