Does Jon Stewart has 6 mil viewers ?

If you believe, as we do, that The Nation can play an essential role in this highly political moment, exposing the truth behind the rhetoric and framing the debate in terms of progressive values, please help us get this commercial on the air.

Any small donation helps, for instance:

$200 buys one overnight spot on MSNBC
$250 buys one overnight spot on CNN Headline News
$3,700 buys one primetime spot on MSNBC
$8,400 buys a national primetime spot on CNN
$30,745 buys a national spot on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart

TV spots are priced based on how many thousands of viewers are watching at any given time - so basically, every $5 donated will allow us to show the commercial to approximately 1,000 people. Who knows - perhaps together we can change some minds this election year!

1. what? Is that true? 200 bucks? Man, does that ever give me EVIL IDEAS

I guess you have to buy 100 at a time or something, but wow - that's cheap.

2. Darn, for $200 I would post an adbusters spot at least 3 times a year.

But not 100

3. If that's true

he has 3 times as many viewers as Fox does on any given day.
I was at a seminar last night that said the average viewership for Fox News Channel was 2 million a day (which they said in the tv world is an abysmal failure).

4. Once I tried to explain.

It was on another board. If you pay for cable TV with 100+channels ,why would you watch the BS on the cable "news' channels?

I was told I was uninformed.

Thanks for posting. You have shown how cheap cable 'news' tv is. It is because there is barely anyone watching. I could be wrong ,but infomercials might pay better. And they might be more factual.
