In California, we ironically get a lot of "Visit California" ads as well. I don't really watch TV, so this could be a unique event, but I get a laugh every time I see them depicting the Hollywood Hills as I look at them from outside my window.....
I've also seen ads for Nevada and British Columbia. Not really anything more from other states.
I see the most ads for California, Florida and down the shore living here, in the Philly market. When I was in the Harrisburg market, it was mostly adverts for California, Florida and a bunch of outdoorsie states. Alaska, Nevada, Utah, Montana, et al, pretty much equally.
In Chicago it's tons of Michigan ads, although I actually don't mind them and I have to admit they're quite effective. I don't think the average person realizes Michigan is such a tourist state and has a huge industry and a lot of natural beauty. People just think about the 5% of the state that's the city of Detroit and Flint.
I also see some Vegas and Iowa ads.
My favorite are the Montana ads they put up all over the inside of the L trains. So when it's 20 degrees outside and you get on the train at 8am you're confronted by a long row of ads along the top of the train saying "MONTANA" and showing this snow covered harsh looking natural environment with a few large animals standing around. Cause that's what I want to think about when it's the middle of winter and I've been walking down a cold street!
When I'm in Iowa I tend to see a decent amount of Illinois ads.
