The survey, conducted by Burke Marketing Research for the Newspaper Advertising Bureau, found a steady, continuing drop in recall of prime time commercials from percent of prime time viewers in 1965 down to four percent in 1990. 18 Among viewers called while a commercial was being aired, 7.2 percent recalled the commercial. Among those called more than a minute after the last commercial, only 2.8 percent recalled. Fewer than two percent of all Americans were projected as able to recall the brand or company of the last pi;ime time TV commercial aired only minutes before they were asked by the survey team. These findings raise ques tions about the value of advertising dollars paid for prime time commercials, says Stuart Tolley, NAB vice presidentdirector of research, particularly when you consider that fewer people these days are giving TV their undivided attention, even when theyre sitting in the room with the set switched on.
