THE FRESNO BEE WEDNESDAY AUGUST 3a 2000 E7 entertainment Josh needs your help again CBS eyes a blockbuster sequel Here we go again Valley residents must come to the assistance of one of their own Let your battle cry be toss Joshua Souza the Reedley High School graduate who has been locked in the Brother house for 56 days has been nominated to be banished from the house Two weeks ago he was one of three house guests put to a national telephone poll to determine their fote He survived with ease This time the banishment field is different Six of the remaining seven contenders for the $500000 grand prize already has $14 million in sponsorships By Lisa DeMoraes THE WASHINGTON POST You thought perhaps there was nothing more to say about' Think again CBS has already started lining up sponsors for Australia-based which debut until late January and advertisers who want in are being told to fork over $14 million a hefty $10 million hike over the price of a sponsorship on For $14 million they will get the same package as did sponsors writes Inudecom the Web site that watches the TV industry That includes 30-second ads during every episode a presence on the Web site and more of the product placement that made so much fun to watch will you ever forget the Bud Lights Kelly was forced to drink at Club Faux or the care package filled with Target towels? Inexplicably CBS is restraining itself and limiting sponsor-amps to eight though that would mean the network would pull in a meager $112 million before even debuts So for 35 advertisers are interested says Insidecom though it doesn't name any Now even though CBS suits have more than tripled the cost of a sponsorship judge them too harshly: The first show was woefully undervalued because nobody not even the Boys of CBS expected viewer- ship to get up to 51 million i for the A couple of episodes in however CBS realized it had a hit and decided to soak last-minute advertisers for $600000 per 30-second ad during the finale Think about it: Those lucky sponsors who got in early only averaged about $150000 for each ad in the 13 episodes And who knew winner King Richard was really a court jester?
