While I was running the marketing for a home-products manufacturer I was constantly contacted by shows on TLC, Discovery, etc to pay them money to showcase our products. They usually wanted about $3k in 'fees' plus about $10k in product. As JB said, the publicity is not worth it...Wild oats will probably get about 30 seconds of publicity all season long after paying MTV money they could've run fifty 30-second spots with.

As a former marketing manager, I was once approached by a production company that wanted to use our products on-air. For them to use our products, not only did we have to ship them free material, we also had to pay them thousands of extra dollars. They determined that our product was worth less than the publicity.

Quid pro quo agreements seem like a no brainer. When I'm watching any reality show, if I see any product or store, I generally assume there was a bit of service in exchange for publicity agreement.
