The first television advertisement was broadcast in the United States on July 1, 1941. The watchmaker Bulova paid $9 for a placement on New York station WNBT before a baseball game between the Brooklyn Dodgers and Philadelphia Phillies. The 20-second spot displayed a picture of a clock superimposed on a map of the United States, accompanied by the voice-over "America runs on Bulova time. (According to wikipedia)

By the way, all the 30 second spots for Super Bowl 46 have been sold out by NBC, at an average cost of $3.5 million each. http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/s ... out-277506
