Tons of Kubota TV ads on MLB games v Zero for other brands

[Fawken]

Any other baseball fans notice this? TV ads on MLB games are pricey.

I'm not a baseball fan and don't watch MLB, but Mike & Mike (ESPN2 & ESPN Radio) have Mahindra as an advertiser.

According to Major League Baseball, Kubota is not one of the Top 25 advertisers, is not a national advertiser and is not an Official Sponsor of Major League Baseball.

So, perhaps you are seeing regional ads placed in select markets vs. national ads that go to everyone.

Regional ads are way less costly than national ads and less costly than being an official sponsor.

Kubota is the only one I've seen commonly. They even had a half page add in the Wall Street Journal a while back. I've seen occasionally adds by the local JD dealer, but other than that, tractor makers don't seem to be big advertisers.

I see John Deere ads all the time on the History Channel or Discovery Channel.
