Rep Power: 55 | | | Obama buys 30 minutes on CBS, ABC, NBC and FOX
Right now just CBS, but he's trying to get airtime on the other networks. Exclusive: Obama buys half-hour of network primetime--The Live Feed |

Rep Power: 2 | | | Wow.
If he does buy the other networks and creates a road-block on all four of the big networks, the exposure would be monumental.
I can't even begin to wonder how much this will cost.
Primetime in the middle of the fall new-episode season, and for a half hour?
Once again, wow. |

Rep Power: 181 | | Fox News would probably charge him five times the amount they charge everyone else.
Though I must admit, seeing PRO Obama ads in commerical breaks between The O'Reilly Factor and Hannity/Colmes would be freakin hilarious.

I think this is going to be a 30 minute "special" where Obama speaks directly to the voters about his plans for the future of this country!
How amazing would that be just days before the election!

As a network or a local television station, you have to sell time to political candidates for the lowest unit rate. In this case the unit would be a half hour of primetime, but they can't charge any more for it than they would another person or entity which wanted to buy a similiar slot. |

How amazing would that be just days before the election! It's paid.
The networks do not give away airtime to political candidates. If they did they would have to offer equal time to every candidate in the election and since the networks exist to make money, they aren't giving away anything for free.

How amazing would that be just days before the election! Now that would even be more amazing. Honestly, right in the middle of primetime before the election he'll have a 30 minute "special".
It would also be another record first that Obama would be doing.

Gem it's not buying the election...it's giving the voters the opportunity to have the most information they can get prior to voting. Bet McCain is shitting his pants over this
