The loan company announced it would soon lend money to borrowers with proven records of not paying back their loans on time, a group collectively known as the subprime lending market.
Here, the noun phrase in blue is in apposition to the noun phrase in red.
Thus, the two appositive phrases appear side-by-side.
Dear Mitch,

Sorry for bumping an old thread. Isn't what you wrote about the above example also true for the sentence below?

Soaring television costs accounted for more than half the spending in the presidential campaign of 1992, a greater proportion than in any previous election.

Isn't the blue part a noun phrase modified by the red one (as an appositive)?

Please, let me ask two more questions:
1. If it's not an appositive, is that because the prep phrase in the presidential campaign of 1992 might be an adverbial modifier modifying accounted for?
2. What if in the presidential campaign is changed to of the presidential campaign?

Your comments will be most appreciated. Thank you very much in advance.
