Question Media Peeps: How much does it COST to air a *TV Political Campaign Ad?

[appalachiablue]

EACH TIME, on cable like CNN, national and local affiliates of the three major networks and any other televised outlets.

- Ad costs for 30 sec., 60 sec., 2 mins. if applicable. I'm curious what price the networks charge, thanks much.

Today I Saw this fine 30 sec. ad on MSNBC for Bernie's Campaign for the first time.

1. Good Ad

Thanks for posting.

3. Sure. I know the networks charge a fortune each time an ad runs, why I asked.

Cuz I'd like to see one aired 10 times a day for Bernie!, esp. after these two losses and some more in the South to come.

2. Depends on the time slot and coverage area

also how popular the show is.

A 30 second spot during a cheers rerun wouldn't cost much.

Run that same add during the Superbowl and we are talking 10's of millions of dollars!

4. Forgot about the time slot & area, thanks. I'd like to see more of these

of course, why I asked. What's the best and most effective time slot, for weekday and wkend. IYO?
