sponsor

sponsor
   an advertiser
   Originally, a godparent, whence one who supports a candidate or public performance.
   Now standard use of paying for publicity by financing another activity, especially in American television programming:
    Sponsors didn't write the programmes any more, but they did impose a firm control on the contents. (Bryson, 1994)
   And the sickening introduction to an advertising break — 'A word from our sponsor'.
