SCRANTON, Pa. — A Pennsylvania TV station is refusing to run a commercial for the real-life Dunder Mifflin paper brand.

Quill.com, a division of Staples, produces a line of paper products inspired by the fictional company at the center of “The Office,” the long-running NBC sitcom set in Scranton.

Quill had planned to run an ad on WNEP-TV, the ABC affiliate, during tomorrow’s Academy Awards telecast. But WNEP declined to air the spot.

Quill spokesman Paul Bessinger said the spot was declined apparently because “The Office” airs on a rival network.

WNEP’s Michael Last declined to comment.
