LocalTurner Network Sales Local Cable Operator Extension

CNN will help capitalize on the national media behind these programs by encouraging its local cable affiliates to capture ad sales business. CNN provides local cable affiliates with a promotional spot that is "taggable" with the location of the participating Home Depot in that market. The spots drive consumers to point of sale displays, on-pack promotions, in-store appearances, etc. As added value for their local cable buy, the local Home Depot receives bonus spots that look and feel and are part of the national campaign and ultimately drive traffic to their location(s). Typical affiliate incentive programs deliver over $1 million in additional media value (programs including the top 10 cable markets).
