Endorse Liberty Broadcasts Half Hour Ron Paul TV Special in Florida

[rightcoast]

Was there heavy advertising on TV hyping these videos? Are they listed on the tv guides? I didn't even find out they were playing in FL until today.

The reason I ask is because I remember in 1988(??) when Ross Perot bought airtime and my parents knew about it in advance. They weren't Perot supporters but looked forward to watching just to see what it was about.

Hoping for similar hyped interest with these videos....

Just to point it out, he was buying network airtime in an era when not everyone had cable, and even when they did, the networks were still bigger players than today. There was basically *no such thing* as original cable programming, like we think of Breaking Bad, or The Shield. It was such a big deal to have network airtime in the early 90's, and Perot did it a few times.

I'm pretty sure if Ron Paul paid to be on after 30 Rock, that'd be news now, think of it that way. Then imagine the magnification of doing it when it was 30 Rock or reruns of shows from 1981 on cable. We're talking the cultural impact of buying all three networks, a couple cable channels and twitterbombing a livestream all at the same time.

This is the video officially on in Florida:
It's only 15 minutes? so maybe they will just play it twice in the 30min spot?

Looks like the video is a combination of the "You like Ron Paul except for foreign policy" plus some newly recorded footage of in-person interviews, recent debates and news clips.

I can't believe we're broadcasting "You Like Ron Paul Except For Foreign Policy" to millions of people! That's brilliant!

Hopefully it'll wake some of the old people up.

The ad was on at 10pm tonight and will again be on at 9pm Saturday, Sunday, and Monday. I hope its not not too late for Seniors.

If anyone has family or friends in Florida, tell them to turn on their television and tune in WHDT TV at 9pm from Saturday-Monday.

"...said Stephen Oskoui of Endorse Liberty..."

Looks like he's the CEO of Smiley Media.

th info about these guys keeps trickling out...they actually all seem to be 'new media' social marketing firms, I sure hope they have enough ability to connect to the old style with the people of FL in their ads
