Answer 1

A radio commercial (in the USA also called a spot by people in the business) is a form of advertising via the medium of radio. Airtime is purchased from a station or network in exchange for airing the commercials.



The first radio commercial is credited to WEAF, New York on August 28, 1922 for the Queensboro real estate corporation. The ten-minute live commercial was voiced by H.M. Blackwell, a representative of Queensboro. In radio's Golden Age, advertisers often sponsored entire programs or program segments, typically airing their commercials within. Today [in the USA, at least] sponsorship is comparatively rare, the selling of spots being the predominant practice. Radio commercials are usually sold in 10, 20, 30, 60 or 120 second increments.

Answer 2

In the early days of radio many of the small town/markets stations were created by a local business.The station would broadcast from a store or business, exclusively advertising it,s products and services...As the radio networks developed, in the usa it was NBC..CBS..and MUTUAL..the coast to coast broadcast of scheduled shows,with exclusive sponsors began...The most popular radio star..Jack Benny had a hugely successful program...Not the" Jack Benny Show.".It was the "JELLO Program..starring Jack Benny"...The sponsor was king...and if Jack did a guest appearance on the OLD GOLD SHOW starring Bob Hope...Jello would have to be mentioned at some time in the program...You were owned by the sponsor..if at the end of a season your sponsor didn,t pick up the option on the program..it was probably cancelled,no matter how popular....
