Sprint is close to naming a new agency to create broadcast ads at a crucial time in the company's history.

Deutsch L.A. is in advanced negotiations to handle the assignment, which is worth more than $20 million in annual revenue, according to sources. In media, Sprint spends about $450 million annually on broadcast ads.

Sprint, which badly trails market leaders AT&T and Verizon, finds itself in battle with T-Mobile to become a viable alternative to the big boys.
