  /AB  ABSTRACT:  Media buyers looking for bargains in spot TV are out of luck. 
    Politicians, auto dealers, dot-coms and retailers have snagged much of the 
    inventory, says Bruce Kuperschmid, president of Broadcast Time, a Lido 
    Beach, New York, buyer that places 55% of its $25 million in billings on 
    spot TV for clients such as Warner Books, Simon & Schuster and the Fashion 
    Institute of Technology. The only hope Kuperschmid sees for buyers is the 
    chance that dot-coms, whose stock took a hit in April, may cancel some of 
    their buys. 
    TEXT: 
  /TX       Spot TV makes waves: Autos, telcos, dot-corns and politicians vie for 
    limited amount of time 
         MEDIA BUYERS look ing for bargains in spot TV are out of luck. 
         Politicians, auto dealers, dot-corns and retailers have snagged much 
    of the inventory, says Bruce Kuperschmid, president of Broadcast Time, a 
    Lido Beach, N.Y., buyer that places 55% of its $25 million in billings on 
    spot TV for clients such as Warner Books, Simon & Schuster and the Fashion 
    Institute of Technology. 
         "It looks good if you're a station, not so good if you're a buyer," he 
    says. "We find (big-ticket markets we bought three or four months ago (than 
    when we go in now, it can be 50o to 70% higher. If you wait until the last 
    minute, you'll get murdered." 
         DOT-COMS TAKE HITS 
         The only hope Mr. Kuperschmid sees for buyers is the chance that 
    dot-toms, whose stocks took a hit in April, may cancel some of their buys. 
    But "there will be enough of them that with everything else going on it 
    will be a rough road ahead," with final cost increases more than loss 
    year-to-year. 
         Spot prices are on the rise, agrees John Heise, president-CEO of Petty 
    Television, a division of Petty Media Corp., New York, which places more 
    than 52 billion in ad time a year-all spot-for 225 clients. "Our increases 
    will be double-digit the second half of the year based on Olympic revenue, 
    political spending and dot-com in the top io to zo markets. 
         "The automotive [sector] has been strong. We've seen the telcos 
    spending money, retailers, and fast-food was up some."
