Product Placement

Telemundo will air several seven packages of product placements instead of regular commercials. Only one 30-second spot will appear during each episodes, either near the very beginning or end of the show. It will use three types of product insertion, each more expensive than the other: [cite web

*Passive integration is when a product simply appears on-camera during a scene.
*Active integration refers to a scene where a character interacts with a product.
*Storyline integration refers to a product becoming part of the show's plot.

Telemundo wants to retain viewers who might ordinarily tune away or fast-forward during commercial breaks. Network executives plan to sign deals for all seven packages by early next year, then the show's writers will write scripts that integrate the sponsor's products. They also say "Idolos" will still be a quality show -- and that the ads will be subtle enough that the serial is watchable. [cite web
