'Empire' Ad $

It was reported this week that Fox's recent hit TV show 'Empire' is raking in about half a million dollars for 30-seconds of ad-time, which is almost as much as some top-tier NFL programming. This makes the hip-hop drama one of the most expensive non-sports primetime broadcasts for advertisers this season -- about $150,000 higher than last year's most expensive show in that category, 'The Big Bang Theory'. According to the Verge, 'Empire's' top 2 advertisers this season are slated to be Lincoln and Pepsi. Read more on the massive success of 'Empire' here.
