The originator of local/national discount online TV advertising, Cheap TV Spots, produces quality TV or web ads, and airs them without tacking on additional commissions, and ABC, CBS, NBC or any broadcaster can provide a similar service. Spotrunner is venture funded and probably losing money, so it might not be too long before their plug is pulled. Does anyone have any insider info to substantiate this, or to set the record straight? Seems like lot’s of investor-sponsored spin and rumors – but what’s really going on?

Our business is rooted in the local market, and I truly believe that we continue to head in the right direction.
