High Tide Airtime SOUTH DAKOTA - Planning Schedule Now

Do is anger anyone around here that HQ is probably not doing this kind of thing right now when even $25,000 would get alot of ads on air the week before the vote.

Uhm, considering they have nearly $5 million in the bank :mad:
 
This is what I worked out for a possible spending breakdown.

ABC-KSFY 250,000 households (east)
FOX-KTTW 254,000 households (east)
FOX-KEVN 94,000 households (west)

Total 598,000 households (note KSFY & KTTW will be overlapping roughly the same area).

ABC-KSFY $1850
FOX-KTTW $1850
FOX-KEVN $1000
---------------------
Total $4700

Maybe back off on some of the KTTW and bump up the KEVN. Remember KTTW will also be overlapping with ABC.

Perhaps even the money up $1,425 each for the 2 foxes.

If you add up the first SD chip in, the 2nd SD chip in, and the leftovers from the original high tide it puts funds for SD at: 4,749! Good job people!

The second SD ChipIn is still open for more until tomorrow. Having another few hundred would be helpful since we're buying on 3 different networks.
 
URGENT!!!

THERE's Still Time to Donate to the South Dakota High Tide AD!!!!

AdamT, did you get the schedule of when the ad was played in Idaho? I don't mean the 12 spots @ 6am-12am M-F one.
 
A patriot from CA just donated $500 to the SD ads. This puts our current total at about $5200.
 
Let me know what you think of the most recent breakdown:

ABC-KSFY 250,000 households (east)
FOX-KTTW 254,000 households (east)
FOX-KEVN 94,000 households (west)

Total 598,000 households (note KSFY & KTTW will be overlapping roughly the same area).

ABC-KSFY $2200
FOX-KTTW $2000
FOX-KEVN $1200
---------------------
Total $5400
 
Just got the FOX-KEVN coverage map. They reach a little into North Dakota, Montana, Wyoming, and Nebraska but mostly concentrated in Western South Dakota.
 
Here's the schedule for ABC-KSFY.

We'll have 19 spots on FOX-KTTW. Will post schedule when I get it.

Waiting on FOX-KEVN schedule as well.

Very expensive, but will reach a lot of people in the state. We'll also be on all cable and satellite (DishNetwork, DirectTV) in the state, as they carry the local broadcast channels. An added bonus for going broadcast :)

I'm sending out this press release tomorrow to all the major papers in the state. Might garner a little press.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Ron Paul supporters launch grassroots TV ad campaign in South Dakota

May 29, 2008

The American Liberty Coalition will start airing a 60 second Ron Paul TV spot, entitled "The High Tide", which will air on FOX-KTTW & ABC-KSFY in eastern South Dakota, and on FOX-KEVN in western South Dakota. The ad run starts Friday, May 30th and ends June 3rd, the day of the SD primary. The spots can also be viewed on South Dakota cable channels and satellite networks that carry these local broadcast stations. The funding for the airtime was donated by over 80 Ron Paul supporters, from not just South Dakota, but many of the states in the Union.

The spot features a computer-generated Ron Paul amid a whirlwind of motion graphics, where the maverick Republican candidate for President touches upon issues of foreign & monetary policy, the Constitution, and spreading his message of peaceful rEVOLution beyond just the upcoming elections.

Collaborating over a period of three months, the spot was created by a small group of dedicated grassroots artists in New York, Wisconsin, New Jersey, and Canada. The spot features an original orchestral score written by Marc Scibilia.

This will be the third state in which The High Tide has aired, the first being Pennsylvania where Ron Paul garnered over 16% of the Republican vote, the second being Idaho where Ron Paul won 24% of the vote (and up to 40% in the northern counties), pushing his nation-wide total to well over 1 million votes. Even though John McCain may have won the Republican nomination, Ron Paul remains in the race giving voters a true conservative option at the polls.
