Full Season: You create a package with a quantity of 24 and the amount of $2400. Early-Bird Full Season: You create a package with a quantity of 24 and with a lower amount of $1800. Once a sponsor pays for the Half Season, that sponsor will get an additional available quantity of 12. You can now assign this sponsor to 12 new episodes.
