CBS Inks Deal For 30-Episode Bloomberg Ad
https://politics.theonion.com/cbs-inks-deal-for-30-episode-bloomberg-ad-1841309602
NEW YORKCiting its productive relationship with the multibillionaire in the two months since he announced his candidacy, CBS officials confirmed Tuesday that the network had inked a deal to air a 30-episode advertisement for Michael Bloombergs presidential campaign. Weve had a great run with Mayor Bloombergs shorter ads, so were thrilled to welcome him into our lineup with a full series of hour-long episodic commercials, said a spokesperson for the television network, indicating the commercials will run immediately after NCIS on Tuesdays, though independent reports have confirmed they will also re-air throughout the week as often as the former New York mayor wants them to. Mike is a relentless, self-made presidential candidate we think will really resonate with viewers when they are given this opportunity to see the full arc of his run for the White House. We have his campaign merchandise for sale in CBSs online store, and with any luck, well soon be in talks about a second 30-episode ad. Frankly, were willing to keep this running for as many seasons as the mayor would like. CBS officials said the deal included a proposed crossover episode of Young Sheldon in which Bloomberg would guest star, warning the Cooper family about the dangers of consuming large, sugary drinks.
