CSI Amoung TV’s Top Money Makers

by

csi128

According to Forbes, CSI is on one TV’s most lucrative shows. Based on research by TNS Media Intelligence, CSI makes $2.1 million per 30 minute segment by charging $201,000 for a 30 second ad. After all the super secret number crunching, the show averages $4.2 million per airing.

“It’s not necessarily just eyeballs that advertisers are buying here,” Ed Gentner, senior vice president of video investment activation at MediaVest said. “It’s the right eyeballs.”

I do find it strange that CSI Miami didn’t make the list. It’s one of the most popular shows in the world. Maybe salaries and location shoots hurt it’s ranking?

3. Desperate Housewives
4. Grey’s Anatomy
5. Two and a Half Men
