The FAA also has said that it may impose an additional $2.5 million fine on America West, the country's ninth-largest airline.

Forget jingles. Viewers prefer familiar tunes in commercials

Article Abstract:

Source Maythenyi says in 1999 130 ads featured music originally released commercially. Licensing hit music for a year for an ad costs about $150,000; using the recording itself doubles that fee. Commissioning a tune is less expensive. An advertiser is likely to license a non-hit tune for a campaign aimed at a specific smaller market.
