What's the cost of political ads?

[ArtSpooner]

For the past few weeks you can't go more than 20 minutes without hearing an ad for Steve Pagliuca.  I've heard him on at least a half dozen stations and I'm assuming he's on several that I don't ever listen to.  This is the most relentless campaign I've ever heard.  Any one know what ad packages like this cost?

Serious money is being spent on his campaign.

He's all over televison too.

I heard his commerical on 93.7 Mike FM last week.

At the moment, full ad rates apply.  Lowest-unit rate doesn't kick in until 45 days before the primary and 60 days before the general election.

I'm not a radio insider.  About how much (in dollars per ad) would that be?

Depends on the station, day-part and frequency you wish to play the commercials.

Steve Pagliuca is spending some serious money here for ads and yet he has no chance of winning the senate seat and he knows it. You must assume that he is laying the ground work for some future office.

I hope it's governor.  Of course after hearing all of the things he's for and against, I'm not sure that he'd be any better than Patrick.   What I am I saying........of course he'd be better.
