How much did sponsors pay for a 30 second ad during the final episode of M*A*S*H?

The anticipation and buildup before the airing of "Goodbye, Farewell and Amen" was almost unprecedented, especially for a regular television series (in contrast to awards shows, sporting events, or special events). Interest from advertisers prompted CBS, the network broadcasting M*A*S*H, to sell 30-second commercial blocks for $450,000 (about $906,000 in 2006) each—costlier than even for the Super Bowl of that year. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goodbye,_Farewell_and_Amen Oct 07 10, 9:27 PM
