Nothing starts off a morning like In the Papers on NY1. Especially with a Tivo, to zip through the stories you're already up to speed on and the commercials. However due to the way NY1 is run, you always get the same ads around the same segments. So I can tell you that Sleepy's is almost always on sale for example.
The other ad that's caught my attention is the Children's Hospital of New York Presbyterian. I really like the classical music (do I hear a violin?) they play through the ad. I'm sure it's a famous piece which some will be shocked I don't know off the top of my head. But that's not where this story is going.
A look at Google and searching for "classical music in ads" came up with this little gem from 2000.
"A new TV ad for Microsoft's e-mail program uses the _Confutatis
Maledictis_ from Mozart's _Requiem_ as its soundtrack. 'Where do you want
to go today?' is the cheerful slogan on the screen while the chorus sings,
'Confutatis maledictis, flammis acribus addictis . . .- which translates as
'The damned and accursed are convicted to the flames of hell.'"
