Q: How does it work on "The Price is Right" for prizes? Do they have to buy them all, or are they donated because it's like free advertising?
It's not technically "free" advertising, but you've figured out the model.
Companies donate the prizes to the show in exchange for the exposure they get. It costs Ford a car, for example, to be featured on an episode that's seen by millions -- not a bad deal.
If you've ever noticed that the descriptions of the big prizes sound an awful lot like advertising copy, that's because they are.
