Deerfield Beach, FL (PRWEB) January 18, 2004

More and more advertisers are looking to increase their visibility on the airwaves without 'beating viewers over the head' with their messages today. Instead of cramming too much information or pizazz into expensive :30 or :60 spots, advertisers are seeking new ways, via product placement and sponsorships, to increase their effectiveness at a fraction of the cost.

The shows are aired on targeted national cable networks, as well as regional broadcast stations. The key is to educate, as well as entertain, viewers.

Already, since the start of 2004, 15 new accounts have signed on for

Educational segments on various PTGTV shows. As long as viewers keep
