Here is cost for advertising with a local television station:
Price for TV advertising on local TV with 3 million area homes for 30 seconds: $5,000 . Total price for airtime: $35,000

Jackson received at least 3 minutes of free air time and here are the results:

With the help of her fiancé Michael Junay she can tell these stories through her web site www.50in52journey.com. CBS Sunday morning did a feature of her story airing almost 8 minutes long. The financial breakdown is staggering. TV Advertising on CBS nationwide in over 100 million homes for 30 seconds: $65,000 Total airtime is over $1,000,000 Here is the result:
