An excerpt:

   To this day, if you ask most Apple employees about the commercial,
   they will proudly claim that the only time Apple ever paid to run the
   commercial was during the Super Bowl. It's been repeated convincingly
   so many times by so many sincere people that it's now accepted as
   gospel. Hate to break it to you, but it's a lie.

   In keeping with industry tradition, Chiat/Day paid $10 to run 1984 in
   the 1:00 A.M. sign-off slot on December 15, 1983, at a small
   television station (KMVT, Channel 11) in Twin Falls, Idaho, thereby ensuring
   that the commercial would qualify for that year's advertising awards.
   And beginning on January 17, the 30-second version of the commercial aired
   for weeks in ScreenVision, an advertising medium played in movie theaters
   before previews and feature presentations (some theater owners loved the
   commercial so much that they continued running it for months without pay).

Interesting nearly-Sun Valley connection :)
