To obscure poor ratings and generate higher ad rates, more and more networks are fooling Nielsen software by intentionally misspelling show programs (“NBC Nitely News” and “CBS Evening Nws” being two oft-used examples). It’s no wonder why many advertisers believe that the ad pricing model is broken.
