On the broadcast

Studio 940 front-on: Rex at the desk, screen wall and skyline windows
S1 Exclusive · one sponsor

Title sponsorship

The broadcast opens with your name in the anchor's mouth and closes the same way. The desk is picky about whose name Rex has to keep saying. Renewal holds first refusal.

S2 Per period

The vest badge

A patch with your mark, sewn onto the vest Rex wears for the full hour. Cameras cannot avoid it, and neither can Rex.

The desk microphone on its boom arm in front of Rex
S3 Per period

The mic flag

In shot whenever Rex leans in to make a point, which is often, and held there while he waits for the point to land.

S4 Per read

In-video reads

A scripted read inside the broadcast: the anchor taking your product entirely seriously, on air, in the show's voice. Deadpan is included in the rate.

The RATINGS KING mug on the desk beside Rex
S5 Per period

Set dressing

An object of yours placed on the set. A mug, a bottle, a sign. Rex may develop opinions about it on air; the desk does not moderate these, and has stopped trying to.

S6 Weekly

Newsletter sponsorship

Your name at the top of the weekly letter, read by the kind of people who read to the bottom.

S7 Recurring

Segment sponsorship

One recurring segment carries your name in its title card and its intro read, every time it runs. Which segment carries you is settled with the desk.

On the site

The dock at the foot of the 940 desktop
W1 Per period

The dock slot

It sits in the site's desktop dock every visit, quietly, next to the apps people actually open.

W2 Per period

RexGPT

A sponsored surface inside RexGPT. The model mentions you when it is relevant, and only then.

W3 Per period

The hidden frame

A frame of the broadcast nobody is told about. Viewers who find it, find you. The desk keeps a straight face when asked where it is.

How it works

  1. InquiryState the slot, the period you want, and who you are.
  2. Fit checkWe decide whether the bit still works with your name in it.
  3. TermsSlot, period and category exclusivity, in writing.
  4. CreativeWe write it, in the show's voice. You approve it. We keep the pen.
  5. On airYour surface goes live on the next broadcast, and the desk confirms it did.

Standing policy — the satire stays intact.

Sponsors are written into the joke on purpose, and the ones who understand that get the best material. Where the fit is wrong, we decline.
