I seriously doubt Canonical is going to do any sort of advertising on TV any time soon. The only Ubuntu ads I have seen were in Silicon Valley, opposite the Oracle HQ. In general marketing terms, advertising is a dying art. People are increasingly tuning out ads and thus the "return" on them is dropping off, sometimes quite precipitiously.
