History

In 2002, Comcast and AT&T Broadband completed a merger totaling $47.5 billion, which combined systems to serve over 21 million video customers in 41 states. One of the main assets to the merger was Comcast acquiring the AT&T Advertising Sales which had recently begun branching into local spot advertising. AT&T Advertising Sales was renamed Comcast Advertising Sales and spread into Comcast's other DMAs across the United States. After numerous other mergers and acquisitions in the following years, Comcast had many various advertising sales divisions under many different names and was looking for a way to group them under one national brand name. Comcast Spotlight was the name chosen after much debate and a two month contest in which employees could submit names for consideration. Comcast Spotlight was officially announced on February 2, 2005, with Charlie Thurston named the president.
